Ace of Spades Pet Thread, August 23
Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals. Would you like a treat? Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.
158 Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day.I MISSED IT. But I don't have a totally black cat. Do you? There are some lovely black cats in this thread. The first one was not too happy about Black Cat Appreciation Day:

Good Afternoon K.T. and fellow Pet Morons,Wow! We are learning a lot from the growth of these little chicks! Chick C is really growing up, too!
This week has been good at the house for the Chicks. C & D have achieved flight and were moved into the cage with their siblings yesterday. They are curious about the regular food, but are still on formula. A & B are fully off formula at this point. The big news this week is that Chick C is a mutant! This mutation affects his feather coloration, or in this case, lack thereof. C is a Turquoise Conure of the Mint/Moon flavor. His wing feathers are a minty, blueish green and his breast and underbelly is cream color with no other accents. Normally the back is a rich, dark green and the breast has red and/or yellow mixed in with the cream. This is caused by a double recessive gene in the parents. That means that the gene has to be present on both sides (double), even if it's not visible (recessive). This mutation disrupts the DNA sequence with the result being the suppression/absence of the colors red and yellow in the feathers. Since red and yellow are primary colors, you can see that this will have a notable impact. This mutation has no effect on the baby's overall health, just its colors. We consider this a feature, not a bug. There are 3 attached pictures. One being mommy and daddy. They have normal conure coloration. The other 2 are of Chick C. Notice how his breast has no accent color at all and while the back shot doesn't really show his wing colors due to the lighting, I assure you it's minty blue. Also note the tail feather color, it's more brown that bright red (normal). David

Horned owls will take a domestic cat, if it is small, the way Minky was. He was a good kitty, he was about 15 years old, and had adopted himself into my group of cats after his feral momma abandoned him as a kitten. His only goals in life were to hunt birds and find another cat he could cuddle with.
I buried him next to Angus, who he used to love to cuddle with.
A wildlife biologist suggested putting up netting where the cats go, but that would mean most of the yard.

How about some decorated wooden boxes scattered around the yard where the kittehs can run into . I know owl attacks can be silent from above but frequently they get their prey on open ground where the prey has nowhere to run for cover .

Our old black cat Ony insists that every day is Black Cat Appreciation Day.
And she would appreciate it if those dog-cousins of Daisy the Malinois would quit coming by to visit almost every day.
Meanwhile, down at the unoccupied house next door, the cats continue to thrive, apparently. The average-sized pale yellow guy I call Butterburr (or Butterball, or Butter, or just Buddy) is the boldest, the only one who has let me skritch him. The smaller tortoiseshell gal, Rascal, remains shy, but last night was surprised in the shed with a dead bird.
What I really want is to get pix of the kittens. I've never seen them, but they seem to be getting bolder, out from under the porch until MiladyJo gets close. There's a dusty white with a raccoony tail, an orange (as in the graphic up top), and a dark one who remains elusive. So I'm told.
A couple of times, Daisy and I walk by while MiladyJo is feeding the kits, and while Daisy hasn't lunged as if to chase over there (it's a distance from the house to the road), she does have her ears alert and her attention firmly on the house. I wish she could be expected to be nice to them, but…

My son had to put down his 12yo tuxedo this week. Truly sad for the family. Funny, outgoing beastie, who had everyone on a hunt for what we found in his cat toy box. We'll see how his littermate copes with the change. In fact, I am more worried about the dog. Mac, you were a good beastie and well loved. RIP

It's still a family joke many years later about how we'd open our sliding glass door onto our deck and she'd stick her head out, seeming to say "When did all of this nature get here?!!" She had that same reaction for virtually her entire life.

Dang, Kindltot, that's really rough. I've had cats disappear, suspecting predators, but never found parts. Not counting the one who made it all the way to the gate where I had to scrape her off the road. There are a pair of big hooters we've seen down at that end of the property, which has us concerned for the little cat family aforementioned.
The aforementioned old Ony only rarely wanders outside and then only briefly and stays near the house. (How she got to be old.) She wanted me to add that I consider a black cat crossing my path to be good fortune… except when I'm walking back to bed in the dark and she doesn't announce her presence in my path. I'm thankful that's rare.

I am trying to decide whether I can adopt a 5yo or should I go for an 8yo? I'll see the vet in a week so I can find out how toxic Old Cat's thyroid medication is.

Poor guy had been an apartment kitty his whole life, and never had been outside. He is out hunting snakes right now I think.
He is more philosophical about being kept indoors at night, now.

the garden has been very generous. Soon after this photo was taken, my

middle-eastern-style eggplant-and-lamb stew: Delicious, especially when
washed down with a tasty orvieto. I do love this time of year! BTW, my nom-de-ace is "Nemo". Regards ...

Despite the increasing rate of allergic diseases, both in industrialized and in developing countries, the Amish remain exceptionally - and bafflingly - resistant. Only 7 percent of Amish children had a positive response to one or more common allergens in a skin prick test, compared with more than half of the general U.S. population. Even children from other traditional farming families, who still have lower rates of allergic disease than nonfarm children, are more allergic than the Amish. In fact, one Amish community living in northern Indiana is considered one of the least allergic populations ever measured in the developed world.But why?
The "hygiene hypothesis" - first proposed in a 1989 study by British immunologist David Strachan - suggests that early childhood exposure to microbes protects against allergic diseases by contributing to the development of a healthy immune system. The study found that hay fever and eczema were less common among children born into larger families. Strachan wondered whether unhygienic contact with older siblings served as a protection against allergies. Subsequent findings have given support to the hygiene hypothesis, such as that children who grow up with more household pets are less likely to develop asthma, hay fever or eczema. Perhaps even more beneficial than having older siblings or pets, however, is growing up on a farm. (More than 150 years ago, hay fever was known as an "aristocratic disease," almost wholly confined to the upper classes of society. Farmers appeared relatively immune.) This "farm effect" has been confirmed by studies on agricultural populations around the world, including in the United States, Europe, Asia and South America.You would think that farmers, with more exposure to hay, would have MORE hay fever. Huh.
“We don’t really talk about the hygiene hypothesis as much anymore because we now understand that it’s not really about how hygienic you’re living,” said Kirsi Järvinen-Seppo, director of the Center for Food Allergy at the University of Rochester Medical Center. “It’s more like a microbial hypothesis, since beneficial bacteria that colonize the gut and other mucosal surfaces play a significant role.” During the first year or two of life, a baby’s immune system is rapidly developing and highly malleable by environmental stimuli, such as bacteria. Some experts believe that exposing young children to certain types of beneficial bacteria can engage and shape the growing immune system in a way that reduces the risk of allergic diseases later in life. Farm dust contains a hodgepodge of bacteria shed from livestock and animal feed that isn’t harmful enough to cause illness, but does effectively train the immune system to become less responsive to allergens later in lifeThinking about getting a cow now? Got other allergy tips?
I think it's a red yucca plant in my garden but not sure Maybe the Horde knows. Regards from northern Israel, Biden's DogLooks pink to me. Anyone know what it is?

Red yucca is a great landscape plant if you don't give it too much water. It's mid-height with taller flower stalks, and much easier to control than, say, fountain grass. (We had no idea and let a landscaper put some in our backyard. Just don't.)
The cool thing about red yucca is every decade or so there's the chance of the recessive genes expressing so instead of red flowers, you get yellow. It's happened a couple of times in the nearly 30 years we've been living here. Sometimes you have just one flower stalk of yellow buds when the other stalks are still budding out red. It's great example for teaching my students about dominant and recessive genes.

In the 60s when I developed allergies our GP mentioned that as long as there was no life-threatening asthma, learn to live with it. I have found that my cat allergies are tolerable when I have a cat in the house. I am not a cat person and am not cuddly, but living with a cat avoids the distress of going to someone's house and fainting and turning purple.
For the pet thread, I think allergists inocculate with a bit of the allergen. Cheaper to just have a short-haired cat.

Those pond lily flowers are just spectacular. Not much to report on my little terrace here. Haven't had to hardly water all summer with the intermittent rain we've had.
Bought some pink Vinca a couple of months ago and it continues to blossom and be a bright spot of color. Had no idea it would be so hardy.

The trellis doesn't support my tomatoes well, and I still get them sprawling on the rows. It was a good experiment, just not one that worked for me.
Also, never getting Stupice tomatoes again, I prefer beefsteak types. If I want cherry tomatoes I will transplant some of the volunteers.
I did get an accidental paste tomato plant this spring, so we will see if I amended with enough Ca to avoid blossom end rot
I will be picking and canning my first batch, probably tomorrow.

Early planting is important for tomatoes in hot-summer climates. Mulching roots and various forms of shade can also help. As well as choosing heat-tolerant varieties.
Posted by: KT at August 23, 2025 03:28 PM (7vIsy)
I used to live in a fairly high altitude area. Generally, local gardeners are good sources of information for variety choices, etc.
For tomatoes, short-season varieties are usually best.

With regard to allergies, I've heard similar research concerning allergies to peanuts. The received wisdom nowadays is to keep peanuts away from kids because they might be allergic; but some research suggests that it's the absence of exposure in childhood that promotes the allergy. As for me, I'm the fourth of six, growing up in a time when the environment was far more polluted than it is now, yet I have a bunch of allergies - principally to cat dander and some food additives. No, we didn't have pets when I was young. I like cats, a lot, but I can't spend more than 15 minutes in the same room with one - and, of course, they zero in on me. Go figure.

You can think about the future riding on Amtrak in California
Dreams from the Past for Bullet Trains
The Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco was scheduled to open in 2017 to accommodate the "bullet trains", but even though they built the station the trains did not come.The three-block-long behemoth was envisioned as the Grand Central Station of the West, a dynamic hub for buses and high-speed rail that would draw more than 100,000 visitors a day. Come opening day, however, there will be no high-speed rail. Instead, for many years, the five-level showcase just south of Mission Street between Second and Beale streets will be little more than the world's most expensive bus station -- serving mainly the 14,000 transbay bus commuters who roll in and out daily on AC Transit. That reality is starting to sink in and has city officials scrambling -- because without the big crowds that trains were supposed to bring in, there are serious questions about where all the money needed to keep the place secure, clean and well lit will come from.Actually, they sort of had to build the station TWICE, because of dangerous flaws they discovered in the initial construction. Back then, the project was a legacy dream for Jerry Brown.
The Orange County Register also ran an editorial about the entire High Speed Rail project. It includes some interesting information about the State's "cap-and-trade" auctions and the plans to use them to fund the project.Cap-and-Trade. A solid plan for financing this project, now shrunken to a route from Bakersfield to Merced at a MUCH higher cost!
From the very beginning, the California High-Speed Rail Authority's business plans have been based more on hope and fantasy than on sound finance or economics. Proponents seem to have adopted the "in for a penny, in for a pound" strategy: Just grab as much money as you can, as quickly as you can, and start building. Once the track has been laid, there is less likelihood the public will mount strong enough opposition to stop the project, which might be seen as wasteful and cost even more money to tear up the track.
1981: California works with Japanese partners to explore the feasibility of a high-speed rail corridor in Southern California. 2008: California voters approve Proposition 1A, allocating $9 billion to the California High-Speed Rail Authority for the rail's planning and construction. 2015: California holds an official groundbreaking ceremony in Fresno to mark the beginning of construction of the first 29-mile segment of the rail.
February 2024: The project's first construction package, which covers 22.5 miles in the Central Valley, reaches "substantial completion." January 2025: Newsom joins local leaders to commemorate the start of the California High-Speed Rail Authority's Railhead Project, which they say is the first step to laying track.So, nine years after groundbreaking in Fresno, they have substantially completed 22.3 miles of . . . something. TEN years after groundbreaking, they hold a ceremony which involves laying commemorative rails - NOT rails upon which trains can run.
July 2025: Duffy announces the termination of $4 billion in unspent federal funding by the Federal Railroad Administration for the project.Sobering. Check out the details in the Fox Business piece.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority has completed another key infrastructure element in the Central Valley, opening the Avenue 88 Grade Separation in Tulare County. The new overpass spans 485 feet and clears both State Route 43 and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway line, as well as the corridor for future high-speed trains.
Why It Matters California's high-speed rail is in an awkward position. Years of delays and an inflated budget have damaged public and political faith in the project, but the past few years have seen progress—with construction happening throughout the state and tracklaying set to start later this year. To call off the project now, as many of its detractors in the White House desire, would waste years of advancement.The Orange County Register called it years ago (see above). Make it too expensive to end the project. "tracklaying set to start later this year". After laying "ceremonial" track in January, in Shafter. Back to Newsweek:
What's Next The Authority continues to push ahead with construction across four counties—Madera, Fresno, Kings and Tulare—with 29 additional structures underway. Officials say up to 1,700 workers are active on job sites each day as the agency targets completing core segments through California's interior before shifting focus to the larger metropolitan connections on both ends of the system.Just 1700 workers active each day over four counties. And this was supposed to be a big economic boon to the region! We have noticed that there is a lot of giant diesel construction equipment which stands idle much of the time in many locations connected to this HSR project. Parts of detour routes for cars have sunk into the ground or into water, and there have already been other mishaps due to poor planning even in this "easy" part of the HSR project. There are several interesting photos and a short video at the Newsweek link, and an opportunity for you to register your opinion on how fair the piece they published is.

I am triggered by this microaggression. This is an othering of words that creates an existential threat to our democracy. The way to overcome systems of oppression is not to subvert verbal norms but to have radical transparency in all you say such that stakeholders can speak truth to the existential threats of the patriarchy and the environmental violence that surrounds us, and thereby show true allyship via dialoguing with the communities of LGBTQ+BIPOC people, persons who immigrated, the unhoused, birthing persons and incarcerated people, and all other victims of the privileged. This is the only way we can shift the Overton Window.
If you ever worked in tech, you know that guy: Brilliant engineer, can code anything, can do complex calculations in his head, believes any issue can be fully managed in an exclusively quantitative manner. But . . .
Can't dress himself, has the emotional intelligence of a 12 year-old, constantly alienates co-workers, has a Dunning-Kruger approach to issues he's not trained on and generally makes the wrong choice on everything not involving silicon. You know that guy? In 2025, artificial intelligence IS THAT GUY. And I'm not sure if it's even possible for it ever to not be that guy.

After sitting in a drydock for the better part of a decade, a drydock that sank, BTW, with the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov (their only one) has been mothballed.
Because the engineers are workmen who originally built it are now dead and nobody knows how to fix the thing so it will operate as designed.
California's HSR boondoggle reminds me of the Kuznetsov.

---------------
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (our DMV) was caught selling Real ID licenses to illegals for $200 - $500. An estimated 1200 - 1500 illegals in KY received a Real ID this way. Several clerks in multiple county license offices were implicated.
I'd bet this is common elsewhere.

Japan's bullet trains are a technological marvel.
But geography and history both came together to allow it to happen: Geography because nearly all of Japan's population lives on the narrow Pacific coastal plain, which makes serving them by train feasible. History, because we bombed Japan's infrastructure into oblivion in 1945, and so they had an opportunity to rebuild, and do it better.
Rail transportation in the US makes sense in a few narrowly defined markets, such as the Ancela trains on the east coast, or the Hiawatha train between Chicago and Milwaukee (both of which are in the black, BTW). And both of these use existing right-of-ways that they share with freight trains. The sooner we put a bullet through the California bullet-train project (I speak metaphorically, of course!) the better.

1) The end points are walkable. Even if there's decent mass transit there, things have to be within walking distance. A city with a vibrant and compact downtown area makes some sense. Or someplace with a compact tourist zone (like DC).
2) Massive parking has to be available at the entry points to the system.
3) It has to be oriented on places people want to go. Not just where the politicians wish people would go, or the out-of-touch lobbyists think people want to go. It has to be somewhere that an honest case can be made for "We could make it easier on people to come here if we offered a way to do it while sitting and relaxing." And those places are fewer and further between than most of those folks want to admit.
Most of those things don't exist in America. Even the few places where #1 exists (and maybe #3), it's so much easier to drive.
And, while there are people who would love to take the train to wherever, airplanes are much quicker and provide an easier hub from which most people can then disperse to local attractions.

The southern extension of the system to its terminus in Kagoshima was just completed not long ago, was there shortly after, brand new gleaming station. And I think it goes north all the way to Sapporo. But I think some consider that to have been an over-extension of the concept.
In any case as noted by Nemo above, other factors make fast rail travel in Japan a viable option in many cases.

Everyone lives in crowded housing areas and everyone works in a crowded industrial/commercial area. This tends to explode the cost of housing and reduce its quality while also pushing corporations towards large conglomerates.
The better answer, considering how big our country is, is to space things out so road networks are sufficient. Really there is no need for cities any more anyway.

There are YT videos of cross-country Amtrak trips. Fabulous scenery a lot of the time and no dealing with illegal truckers, but the chances of arriving on time seem basically zero because they share tracks with freight and freight has priority.

"Sex change" has an obvious motivation: that patient becomes a permanent reliable patient. The medical equivalent of software switching from ownership to a yearly license: you get guaranteed income.

I voted against the 2008 referendum to fund high speed rail. It was obvious that there was no need for it. Somehow it passed anyway -- perhaps the usual deceptive official description of the ballot measure played a part.
That same election, I voted against a stem cell initiative -- same reason, no need for it. But it passed:l.
I did not vote on Proposition 8, the amendment to
the state constitution that defined marriage as between man and woman. That passed, on the basis of minorities voting for it. Afterwards, the queers had riots, and doxxed and targeted anyone who had supported it, and a queer judge eventually overturned it -- most likely unlawfully. If I had it to do over, I would have voted in favor of it. The queers talked me into that.

Exactly. Both train travel and air travel mean that you have to bend your schedule to that of the transport medium. With airlines, at least your are only hostage to their timetable for a few hours. I expect a train trip from Seattle to Corsicana would take 5 days, if it could be done at all. As a road trip? Maybe 3 days, and you could pick your route, and pick the scenery you want to marvel at, and the quaint bistros in which to dine.

It depends where they plan to locate the stations. LV is growing so far south along I 15 that there aren't many places left to place it. You put it too far away from the strip, and it'll be inconvenient. You put it closer, you'll have to demolish current sites. And where is the LA terminus? Doesn't say, but it would need to be near Disney and the studios. Getting off in Fontana still puts you quite a way away. I doubt it'll go all the way to the beaches.

Commiecrats gush over the European rail travel but I have read that that comes at the cost of not having decent rail freight service vs the U.S. so they end up having way more trucks on their roads compared to us.
I think its better to have the freight tied to a given route and let people pick their own routes and times.

The northeast corridor, from Boston to DC with a major stop in NYC, is the busiest and most profitable part of Amtrak. When I was living in Boston and often commuting to NYC it was fantastic. The Back Bay station was a couple blocks from my condo and drops you off in Midtown Manhattan. Easy peasy.
X number of years ago they decided to add a "high speed" version called Acela. The only problem was it ran on the exact same tracks as the normal train. It skips some of the stations along the way and cranks up the top speed a bit but it really wasn't that different.
That's a route that could benefit from a high speed train but it will never happen. Nobody is going to pay for the rails necessary to carry those speeds.

There are places that high speed or even freight speed (70/80mph)
have a place but they are always corrupted by graft. That CA to LV non-stop is very sensible w/many upsides.
But just like the Houston to Dallas, which is also sensible as a straight line non-stop was turned into a circuitous route around the state.
The original idea of a straight line between two big city business hubs that would take less time and be more convenient than flying was turned into ride time consuming, graft crap trap, no one would ride, that would ruin farm land and disrupt the state.
Thank goodness Trump killed it.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer
requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.
Prayer Requests:
7/9 - Teresa in Fort Worth asks for prayers for her niece Amanda, and her husband Barkley. They are at
Vanderbilt Hospital, where Amanda seems to be rejecting her second heart transplant. She is only 40
years old, and has been having heart issues for 20 years. She had her first heart transplant 4 years ago,
and things are not looking good.
8/2 Update – Amanda isn’t out of the woods yet, but her condition is improving each day.
7/11 – JR requested prayers for the families of those killed in Gaza.
8/2 – JR asked for prayers for the starving children in Gaza.
7/11 – Matthew Kant Cipher requested prayers for Layne, a family friend who is also his son’s FIL. He
was diagnosed with bladder cancer and is awaiting further test results to determine whether they treat
with chemo or remove his bladder. As of now, it appears to be contained. Please pray that he and his
family are blessed with God’s love and grace through this time of trial.
8/13 Update – Layne has had some good news. His PET scan indicated that the cancer hasn’t spread
beyond his bladder. Also, it seems to be a less aggressive form of cancer than originally diagnosed. The
Horde prayers are blessing him greatly and are immensely appreciated. Please keep them coming!
7/23 – D sent an update on his wife Susan, as they deal with cancer. The last few weeks have been a
roller coaster. They cannot operate on the cancer, because it has spread too much. They have started
chemo and hope to get it to shrink. Susan’s gallbladder is inflamed, but they cannot remove it, due to
the chemo, and her blood sugar is having issues. Thanks to everyone for their prayers; Susan has pulled
through all of this and is looking great as they keep praying to the Lord.
8/14 Update – Susan had to go back to the hospital and is still there. It seems like every time they
make progress, something else happens and she is back in the hospital. Prayers are deeply appreciated
and needed.
7/26 – Stateless asked for prayers for his neighbors. The nice lady across the street lost her husband of
30 years about 3 months ago. And a different neighbor lost his beloved wife of 34 years in July.
7/26 – Fenelon Spoke requested prayers for J, a dear lady who attends her church. J has been going
downhill since she had a heart procedure several months ago and now cannot speak. She may have
dementia and is living in an assisted living facility.
7/26 – Coelacanth sent his thanks for prayers for his son. He has come a _very_ long way but could still
use more prayers as he deals with vax and black mold injuries. Also, Coelacanth cut his left hand pretty
badly and severed two tendons. He will be on light duty at work for 6+ weeks. Prayers are appreciated.
8/16 Update – Surgery for the repair went very well. He had cut 3 tendons, and all were repaired. He
has 6 weeks in a split and then limited use for a few months thereafter. Thank you all for all your
support and prayers! 7/26 - Brother Tim was discharged from the cancer rehab facility and has returned to his routine of living
out of hotel rooms, while working on better housing prospects. He is praising God for all the blessings
and mercies!
7/30 Update – Brother Tim found out that the cancerous mass impinged on a blood vessel. He needs a
full body scan to make sure it has not spread. He is relieved that he only needs radiation and not chemo
to make sure the original cancer stays gone. He’s also out of PTO. He said that sometimes it feels like
2025 will be the death of him – possibly literally.
8/16 Update – The latest scan confirms the cancer did not spread, so radiation therapy will likely start
on 8/28. The other problems are not budging, but he is thankful for the news he gets that is good.
8/1 – Jmel requested prayers for her husband, whose father just passed away after fighting cancer for
two years.
8/2 – “Perfessor” Squirrel asked for prayers. His job seems to be in dire jeopardy.
8/2 – Teresa in Fort Worth received the good news that her cancerous tumors continue to shrink. She
had some not-so-good news, that she has 2 pulmonary emboli, and has been put on a blood thinner,
which should dissolve the clots and prevent any new ones.
8/4 Update – The oncological surgeon said everything is looking great. After her next CT scan, they will
be planning surgery to remove the tumors. The largest tumor is showing signs of calcification, which
means that it is dying.
8/2 – FenelonSpoke requested prayers for P. She was to have an experimental but successful heart
procedure which the surgeon thinks will help her arrythmia, pain, and fatigue, but insurance will not pay
for it. Prayer that rough places are made smooth for her to have this procedure.
8/4 – Moki posted that s/he could use some prayers. A daughter has gone AWOL, claiming that they
don’t love her.
8/9 Update – Moki reported that her daughter has come home.
8/4 – Inogame asked for continued prayers. Baby #5 continues to grow, and the genetic test came back
clean. Prayers for mom and baby (daughter #4), and also dad and son are appreciated.
8/13 – MkY sent an update on his wife Judy’s battle with cancer. Her immunotherapy is scheduled for
every 3 weeks. Six weeks ago, she had a cold and had to skip it, and it was the best she had felt in a year.
So they skipped the last one, too. She is scheduled for it again on 8/14. She’s not hurting. She is sleeping.
She’s not healthy, but she’s got stage 4 cancer! September is the next CT scan, and they will find out if
the immunotherapy is making enough of an impact to continue. They are very grateful for the prayers.
8/13 – MkY would appreciate prayers for Butch and Harry, who have worked with him for 20 years. Both
have recently been diagnosed with cancer. Butch has liver cancer and Harry has cancer in his larynx.
8/16 – Our Country is Screwed sent an update. He said he had his last chemo last week, and has a break
before radiation begins. Everything looks good so far. He is easily fatigued, and has to build strength.
8/16 – Hadrian asked for prayers for Her Majesty, who is away on the show circuit, with The Big Dummy
until Labor Day. Prayers for health and safety (especially from hurricanes) for them are appreciated. 8/16 – naturalfake requested prayers for a quick and full recovery from a bilateral inguinal hernia. It will
be 2-4 weeks before being able to move around without pain, and up to 12 weeks, depending on how it
heals. Thank you for the prayers.
8/16 – From about That Time asked for prayers for a daughter, whose baby is overdue. The daughter
was scheduled to be induced on 8/17.
8/16 – GV requested prayers for his neighbors, Kathy and Nicola, a mother and daughter. Kathy has a
tumor near the base of her brain. She has been in and out of hospice care, and is getting radiation at a
hospital an hour away. She is very weak and can barely walk a few steps. Nicola has a heart of gold, and
quit her job and moved in with her mother to care for her. They are now saddled with medical expenses
that go along with a bedridden patient, plus the cost and difficulty of maintaining two homes.
8/16 – Madmike requests prayers for his friend Jim. In less than a month, Jim went from being a fit,
healthy 70+ runner to bedridden, needing both open heart and brain surgery.
8/20 – rickb223 sent an update. His wife, Stacy, was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometrial cancer on
3/5/23. She had been seeing an oncologist in Plano, TX, but after two years, the chemotherapy was no
longer working, and was doing more harm than good. They wanted to try and let her body heal for a
couple of weeks. She went on hospice 8/1/25. They thought they would have more time, but God had
other plans. She went Home at 10:20 am, to be with her father, brother, granddaughter, and our Lord. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the
prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in
a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with
the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it
to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an
update.

No, it's not just you. Almost every time I turn around there's another story of someone I know or someone connected to someone I know who has cancer. I don't ask people but I know that lots of them got the shot. Everyday I pray there's some accountability for Fauci, the same man who experimented on beagles as well as AIDS orphans.

I think we all should have a cancer plan ready, more than just "oh maybe I should ask the dr to look at this".
What are alternative /additional therapies to try and how soon to start, for example.
After all conventional treatments have been tried is invariably too late.

It has, and part of that is (I suspect) things like the long term exposure of radiation we did to ourselves with all of the atomic weapons tests. Look up "Low-background steel" and the reason why steel produced today always has a weak radioactive signature: It's the very air used in the process which is now slightly more radioactive than it was before those tests. Since we're breathing that air, those radionuclides (or radioactive isotopes) are going to affect us as well, just like they affect the steel in the refinement process. It's not like we're all going to drop dead suddenly, but an increase in cancers as a result of increased radioactive isotopes in our environment seems to be a reasonable expectation.
Further, there's all the things in our dried, preserved, and processed foods that while they keep things for us longer, also might have negative cumulative effects. It's a trade-off.
We have the Baby Boomer generation that's aging out and passing away, and cancer is one of those "If nothing else gets you, that one will" things.

Two days ago the CO legislature voted to pause the gray wolf program "temporarily", so that there will be no. new wolves brought to the state for next year. The money originally allocated for the wolf program will be diverted to pay for transgender treatments at Childrens Hospital Colorado, among other healthcare funding shortfalls.
https://is.gd/h5QCXa
The funny thing about this budgetary diversion is that the money saved by not bringing apex predators to our ranching communities will be $264,268. This amount is intended to offset a health care funding shortfall of $1.2 billion. $1,200,000,000.
$260k will go a long way toward balancing that, right?

Her daughter provided an obituary for the funeral home which talked about her love for animals and social occasions. That's great, but the nice daughter who lived at a distance was not really religious and didn't go to church and wasn't a member of the church. Her mother, on the other hand, had attended church since she was a kid and was a woman of faith and prayer but the obituary didn't mention that. I will of course, bring that up in her memorial service at the funeral home ( she wasn't a church member of the served but she started attending when Covid restrictions closed down her church) but I think J would have liked that . And no, it had nothing to do with contributions to the church because that wasn't mentioned either. A simple "her faith was important to her" would have been nice.

Same here, in the $20 to $30 range. These things used to be $9 regularly, and $6 on special. We've significantly cut down on the coffee we drink as a result. A 3x increase in price on something just hurts. It'll eventually sort itself out on issues affecting production, but I suspect we'll never see the prices we saw before, even if we have a bountiful supply, partly due to inflation overall, and in small part due to some companies taking the stance of "They were willing to pay it before, let's slowly edge the price back until we find the optimal point on the Laffer Curve, and then we'll hold it there and go no lower except for when we run a special sale."

August typical is 95+ for Houston. Fortunately, the proximity of the Gulf of America's humidity moderates the summer temps from Dallas' typical 100+ Texas Plains temps (it's a dry heat).
OTOH, the humidity reservoir makes Jan - Feb temps feel that much colder, penetrating right to your bones with a damp chill.

She developed heart and circulatory issues and kept getting hospitalized every October or November since 2021. (What medical treatment is usually administered in the fall?) No autopsy, but evidence suggests she died of a blood clot despite being on blood thinners.
And nobody ever made the connection, even though it was weird seeing a formerly vigorous person undergo a huge decline every fall.

Not as far as I'm concerned. Sharing is not automatically "oversharing". It's just that a lot of us were raised to be seen and not heard, an attitude that can't help but stunt emotional growth. Here we get to be heard and not seen.... not sure how, but this is surely better than being totally unheard.

Thanks for asking. The investigation is ongoing, with some positive developments that I have to keep under my hat for now. We got a bit of a start a couple of days ago when CBI discovered old human remains in a remote mountain subdivision about 25 miles from where Gramps disappeared. Not a match based on physical size and clothing. The agent contacted us before the story was released to temper our expectations if we saw the report on the news.

I got lucky in that my employer accepted my religious exemption request. Though I suspect they didn't want to deal with a raft of religious persecution lawsuits.
Had they turned it down, I was going to let them fire me, take my annuity (which I found I would get, fired or not), my SS, any unemployment I could get, and see if I could file a wrongful termination suit. My income would have been lower than it is now -- but I would not have been destitute.

I thought it was funny that that weirdo last week (Scogg?) was accusing me of bowing to the state when I've pretty openly described how I chose to retire from the military rather than take the jab.
And as for pronouns, I threw the Agents of the State out of my house when they threatened me and lawyered up, ultimately emerging victorious.
Of course, the will to do those things came from God, not me, and my faith is much stronger as a result, which is also why I come here to encourage people to do likewise - trust in God.

When scientists went to study the effects of this additional low level background radiation (0.4 Sv, a “collective dose” of 4,000 Person-Sv) on the affected apartment dwellers they discovered something unsuspected: the apartment dwellers had fewer cancers themselves and fewer birth defects in their children than the numbers expected from the Taiwan population generally!

Maybe the distractions are the point. When I say a Rosary, I rarely focus on the mystery at hand for more than a few seconds because my mind immediately wanders into other matters - fear about this one thing, hope about another, confusion about what to do.
I've learned to go with it. I continue to recite the prayers, and if it leads me to an idea about what to do about the car, or how to handle a situation with my kid, that's God opening up pathways for me.
At this point, my go-to method for big decisions is to grid out the options, sleep on it, and say a Rosary - not always in that order, of course.

It's the old Problem of Evil. They don't want to accept that Evil is the absence of Goodness. They also conflate natural disasters with Evil.
While it's not fun at the time, there is a real salvific value to suffering. It is an opportunity to either give or receive unconditional love. For example, after Mom died and the Old Man declined into dementia, I eventually realized that it was a gift. The Old Man and I became much more emotionally closer (we were not estranged, but too much alike: Type A Personalities at tended to be correct but with too little tact) before he died.

Detroit got as bad as it did because Michigan had an immense amount of wealth - at one point it was near the top of the states in per capita income. That left a lot of money that could be pissed away without consequence.
Colorado lacks the population and tax base to play those kinds of games.

Some years ago my wife led a decade of the Rosary at our parish chapel and her voice was so soft and soothing that when it was time for the response, no one said anything, not even the priests. She she gave her own response and the chapel erupted in guilty laughter.
Afterwards Father Gordon told her not to feel bad but good, because she was clearly calming us and bringing us the peace of God!

I believe that's because with that many babies they're born premature and, it's believed, may suffer health issues. I don't know that it's the doctors being ghouls, they just don't necessarily care about killing a human.

My go-to response is that there is more historical evidence of Jesus Christ and his miracles than Julius Caesar existing at all.
If one is going to logic and reason, be consistent. One can't just handwave miracles (including ones with tens of thousands of witnesses like Fatima) because you don't like it.
And there is of course the obvious: For 2,000 years the brightest minds in history accepted God, but wow, man, you're so super-smort that you proved them all wrong. Why not invent cold fusion with your gigantic brain?

Kurt Gödel famously “proved” the existence of God mathematically, but I’ll not try to follow along with the theorem. But it’s clear to me throughout history that many famous minds were men and women of great faith. Religion is also blamed for a great many wars or genocides, but it looks more to me like to get the real slaughterfests going throughout the past they are generally pagans, atheists, and truly perverted tyrants with their own ideas on how things should go. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, et. al cannot be considered men of great faith

Militant atheists are not intellectually-honest inquirers. They are not interested in a conversation. Plus, they are cowards: they are more than happy to "debate" Christians and Jews, but nary a peep to Muslims.
There are plenty of rational arguments for the proof of God's existence. However, if you discount the spiritual and transcendent, and only focus on the material, you will not accept the existence of God.

Eh, the longterm deleterious effects from the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs are well documented.
One of my patients was a guy who'd been plunked down in Nagasaki right at the end of the War. According to him, most of the guys he kept in contact with had life-long health issues and/or died of cancer fairly early on. He himself had had multiple bouts with cancer and a large piece of his skull carved out to save his life. He lived to an old age but it wasn't a free from health issues existence.
Of course, the study says "chronic exposure" or long term exposure rather than a quick KAZOW! of radiation.

I disagree. It was a mixed bag and ultimately a failure because even purple states (like Michigan) ended up repealing the laws that enabled tyranny.
I keep bringing this up, but Michigan's police uniformly took a pass at enforcing the edits. The governor ranted, the AG wailed, and the sheriffs and local cops shrugged.
The entire might of the state descended on a barber in Owosso and shop on the west coast and...failed.
Now the Dems got re-elected, but that was because Biden's FBI faked a kidnapping, and the truth is going to wreck all of them because they knew it was fake at the time. Trump is of course timing the official release of this for maximum damage.
But the real failure is in the collapse of medical authority. Vaccine intakes have collapsed. Trust in medicine is at all-time lows, and of course MAHA is wrecking Big Pharma.
A Pyrrhic victory at best.

Bart Ehrman immediately comes to mind. He's a guy that went into Moody(?) University with faulty understanding of Scripture (he came from a Christian denomination in which he was taught as a child that God had dictated the books of the Bible). He encounters variant Gospels (i.e, a word change or spelling error by the scribe, not the Gnostic Gospels - those are a different thing), and has such a crisis of faith that he becomes an Evangelical Atheist.
But he's a duplicitous little $h!t, writing one thing for serious Biblical scholars and a different thing for lay people.

Yes, I've heard of him, watched him in debates. The problem he is facing is that his schtick has gotten stale. He's now just rewriting the same books over and over again, but even people sympathetic to his arguments are getting bored because he has to tilt the playing field so much.
Brant Pitre wrote a rebuttal to him and I did a speed run through it because Pitre's arguments aligned with ones I had also come up with, all of which wrecked Ehrman.
Ehrman's greatest sin is no longer his atheism, it's that he's boring.

We live in a vast mysterious universe, perhaps a multiverse.
The more we learn in scientific observation, the more mysterious it all becomes, from the quantum level to scale of universe(s).
I believe that there is intelligent life outside of our solar system, somewhere.
So think of God as an alien being, similar to Q from Star Trek, omnipotent, omnipresent, but without the trickster nature of that fictional god.
You simply can’t rule out that possibility even if you don’t believe in human organized religion.
Perhaps, as is often believed by many, we are created beings in a created universe, and that life is a school, a test, in which our souls learn and grow and contribute to the larger whole for some purpose we cannot understand until that souls is freed and enters another ‘dimension’ we have giving the name of Heaven.
Atheists get hung up on what they consider myths instead of considering the possibilities.
They need proof when they should simply contemplate what the meaning of it all is, and why God is not only real but necessary to explain the nature of existence and the reasons for it.

All societies throughout history have had some sort of faith, and would draw upon it in times of turmoil and strife.
Often religion was used as a cloak for other things, like pure greed, or joy in violence. And yes, actual atheists are actually the worst because not only to the wage war on others, they wage their worst wars on their own people.

The Church will be fine. Francis did his utmost and failed. What you are seeing are the angry holdouts trying to create maximum embarrassment on their way out.
Fernandez tried to put out a letter (Fiducia Supplicans) authorizing blessing "irregular unions" and immediately had to issue a clarification, and then personally apologize to the Copts. The Eastern Rite Catholics declared it null and the African bishops denounced it and refused to follow it.

The thing is, even in ‘science’ a lot of the bigger questions have not been proven and are still theories.
There are many things that science simply cannot find an answer to, and likely never will.

Dad wrote up his own Obit, he had been a newspaperman and was rather exasperated with the ones in the paper, which to be fair, are written under great stress and grief, and rarely with all the facts at hand. Dad had done things and been members of organizations I had never known about, and had time to revise and edit it.
Mark Twain wrote his own obituary after he got to read all of his own written by wire services and newspapers when someone had sent out a fraudulent report of his death when he was in Europe on a lecture tour. I think that was also Dad's inspiration.

Richard Dawkins ended up there as well. It’s a very weak intellectual position, holding essentially that people have to be tricked into believing “good lies” in order to live decent and responsible lives. It’s a very autocratic view of mankind. (Only a small ruling class should be allowed to know “truth”

Quite a claim to fame. Just sit there and let the fastest horse in history do his thing.
Wiki (yeah, well):
Secretariat, also known as Big Red, was a champion American thoroughbred racehorse who was the ninth winner of the American Triple Crown, setting and still holding the fastest time record in all three of its constituent races. He became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and his record-breaking victory in the Belmont Stakes, which he won by 31 lengths, is often considered the greatest race ever run by a thoroughbred racehorse.

Florida was not alone. My state opened quickly . I don’t remember the exact dates but I know by early summer 2020 everything was pretty much back to normal. Restaurants were open, bars, etc. I remember my family and I went to a restaurant on the lake with our boat. It was so packed and I was like ok this stupidity is over. Little did I know it would be another 2 years for 1/2 the country to figure it out.
Some corporate places had every other table closed off and shit like that. And Walmart insisted on masks. There was a lot of that around. But that wasn’t the government enforcing it.

This is true. And it was worse than most. In the beginning, they weren't even allowing people from other states in! I remember Jane D'Oh had a vacation rental all set up in FL that she was worried about.
But it is true that FL was one of the first to drop all the crazy restrictions; however, I give more credit to Dr. Ladapo for that. DeSantis was smart to follow his advice.

Well, axeshully no. As "Pride" is condemned in scripture...so is "Lust."
Just sayin'. People certainly can live as they choose...and do. But some choices are a little iffy..."I have made a covenant with my eyes..." "...has committed adultery already in his heart..." "Flee youthful lusts..." but that's all just so analog these days, what with modern culture setting us free from closed mindedness.
However, with "open minds" there's the risk that brains just fall out.

Yeah, I get that.
'Pretty Lady Almost Wearing A Dress' today's pic; Focus on the Family founder, James Dobson died yesterday. He once served on a committee, organized to analyze pornography's effect on the nation, and had to endure piles of what is termed, "Art," (wink) "Free Speech," (wink) and listen to victim testimonies.
After many months, Dobson was grieved and heart sick with it all. He wearily got up from his desk and walked over to the office window, where he observed a wrecking ball, swinging heavily against a nearby building, knocking pieces to the ground bit by bit, piling rubble higher and higher onto the street.
He told radio listeners, "I thought to myself, that's what they're doing to our country." -Sigh-

Daily Tech News 23 August 2025
Top Story
- The US government has signed a deal with Intel to convert $8.9 billion in planned but as yet unpaid grants under the CHIPS act into a 9.9% stake in the company. (Tom's Hardware)
The previously planned grants did not offer the government an ownership stake, but came with technical goals that Intel may not be able to meet in the current climate, making the revised deal a palatable alternative. Intel stock was up 5.5% after the news broke on Friday.
- In addition, if Intel decides to sell off a majority of its chip foundry division, the government will have the option to buy another 5% of Intel common shares at the same price of $20. (WCCFTech)
With great bargains come great responsibility.
Tech News
- In further addition, the government is looking at allocating $2 billion of the $8 billion unspent in the Biden Administration's CHIPs to break China's stranglehold on rare earth elements. (Tom's Hardware)
Rare earth elements are not particularly rare. China has significant reserves, yes, but so do the United States, Brazil, India, Vietnam, Australia, and possibly Greenland.
- Minisforum is planning another of those AMD Strix Halo mini-PCs. (WCCFTech)
Same core specs as the rest: Sixteen CPU cores, 40 GPU cores that work well for games and very well for AI, and 128GB of RAM of which up to 96GB can be assigned to GPU tasks.
This model also comes with why-the-hell-didn't they just call it USB5 - that is, UBS4 v2, which has the new 80GBps trinary data link found in Thunderbolt 5. You can just plug two of those directly together to build a small but fast cluster.

Just reading on what Bolton apparently did. Before Trump fired him during the first term, he was apparently emailing classified material to his family member's private email accounts.
There was an investigation of this that started then, but the Biden admin shut it down. Bondi and Kash revived it, and this is the result.

rare earth (also rare earth element or rare earth metal)
noun Chemistry
any of a group of chemically similar metallic elements comprising the lanthanide series and (usually) scandium and yttrium. They are not especially rare, but they tend to occur together in nature and are difficult to separate from one another.

Samsung claims It can last 500,000 folds. On the other hand some of a guy had it fail after opening and closing it 200,000 times by hand. The real problem is dust and dirt getting into the hinge and causing it to croak. That is, unless you scratch the screen too hard with your thumbnail and blitz the screen.
Did I mention it is $2,000 US? That is like $3,000 AUD. Little known fact, Australian dollars are thinner than American dollars and it takes 3 of them to equal 2 us once in weight which is why everything costs more in Australia.

That's my thinking in addition to the cost. Still, it's a very interesting piece of technology and the progress being made with these folding phones is remarkable. If they can solve the soft inner screen problem and still get it to fold without shattering, well that would be remarkable.
The new Google Pixel 10 fold seems to be on par with the Samsung fold 7 with the additional bonus that it is rated IP68. That is the first time a folding phone has had water and dust rating. Well sort of, the fine says it very likely will not last the life of the phone. The degree of difficulty is Google will not tell you how long it they expect the ip68 to last.
If these designs ever get these problems solved and get the cost down by at least half, which is unlikely because of the additional complexity and extra bits, I'd be interested in one.

If it doesn't change the oil in my car, feed the cats, and clean my apartment for me, it's not even on my radar.
Come to think of it, it would be off my radar even if it did those things. I can do the cleaning for free, a can of cat food runs .78, and two oil changes a year cost me $100.
I'm quite pleased with the $35 Galaxy I bought last year or in '23. I'm not tethered to the thing; I leave it in the car when I go to the library, and only bring it along so I'll have it in an emergency.

On the other end of the spectrum I met a college kid who is in the ROTC and wants to learn everything he can about the Constitution and law. He and the older man were having quite an interesting chat
0h, yes, one of people at one the church booths at the fair said they met at a hotel next to a Cracker Barrel. They had quite an animated discussion with me and each other about the changes at the Cracker Barrel. They did not approve.

Off early for Day 2 of ring stewarding. I want to get there to get a ring that concludes business at lunchtime so I can get home to take care of Diana and Dot and get to Mass this afternoon.
I don't like the idea going to Mass on Saturday, but since it's because of a charitable act I can swallow it.

He’s a warmonger, and I don’t say that lightly.
So when Trump picked him as NSA during his first term, I scratched my head on why the peace seeker chose him.
Bolton, at that time, was regularly on-air on cable news defending Trump so maybe Trump picked him for that reason and to make North Korean & Iranian leaders a little more nervous at having a cannon advising a loose-cannon.
It was about a year or so in when Bolton was drumming up a war in Venezuela to remove Maduro and replace him with the guy who really won the election.
Trump fired him within a few months after that.

You made me think of George Macdonald Fraser, who had a soldier in his platoon who fought in the Burma campaign and was a member of that odd sect called the "Wee Frees," who have strict ideas about the Sabbath. Fraser asked him how he could kill Japanese on Sunday and, "...he ground his teeth and said it was an act of necessity and mercy."

I have this problem also.
Mine has a button called the "custom key" which you can set to do different things based on the type of press (single click, double click, press-and-hold.) I set mine to "none" for all three, and now when I accidentally press this button, the phone brings up the configuration for the button again. There needs to be a "Do nothing" option, which is what I really wanted.
I eventually set it load the calculator program because at least that's an occasionally desired program to run that has some use, and it's easy to close and get out of the way. It also inspires less rage in me about poorly designed user interfaces.
The number of times I press this button accidentally is kinda ridiculous.

My HOA sent a letter saying we’d fallen afoul of some trash can rule in Feb. (which they didn’t tell us) & now again so they may fine
Their pic of the trash can has no timestamp. You can’t see the number on it so no clue if it’s ours. They didn’t say what rule
I am so excited
... I don’t know if they know what they’ve done but I have had a lot of stress the last few months and I cannot *wait* to fight this.
I went to school to read closely and well. I’ve got the HOA agreement right here. Care to guess how many things they’ve been failing to do?

Increasing inheritance taxes to 100% would change incentives such that much less than expected would be collected. For instance, lots of homes would be sold to adult offspring for $1.

It would destroy farms and businesses. It might crash the stock market. It might obliterate the economy. But it wouldn't make an impact on government revenue. The truly wealthy... people with tens of millions or more... would just change their citizenship to a country which didn't do this.

My father’s lung cancer has returned and because he’s basically willed it to happen anyway due to missing my mother, he’s decided on no treatment and he’s now in hospice at home.
They just brought him home from the hospital yesterday.
This will be some of the most difficult months in my life, and I’ve had some doozies in the past.
I feel like a nervous wreck and a lost kid at the same time.
Worried and fearful and heartbroken is a spirit crusher.

I'd ask that you keep your cards close to your chest until after November's medical evaluation and hopefully clearance to have your DL re-activated and re-issued to you.
You might change your mind. If you're having problems with that supervisor, other drivers might be as well. Supervisors that are the source of internal company strife tend to only last so long before they're fired. Also, you could request a different supervisor as a condition of coming back. Remember, your company is (as pretty much all bus companies are) desperate for drivers even if they're not letting on that they are. If your request (and presentation thereof) is calm, polite, and reasonable, they'll be more likely to agree to it.
Just some thoughts. At the end of the day though, if you honestly think that bus driving is bad for your health overall, then let it go and take care of yourself.
I'm glad you indicated you'll be okay. :-)

Indeed. In that case, leave on a high note with your resignation letter talking about the good times you had driving, and that you enjoyed your work, and thank them for the opportunities they gave you.
So few think to thank their employer for the work they provided that it will make a seriously positive impression on them.
It will also soften them up quite a bit if you, during the "possibly returning" talks in the future, ask for a different supervisor.

I would point out that, unlike the current situation, if the Chinese or other entities tried to take control of the company, the only remedy the president would have is to pass a bill - which, if Dems control even ONE of the houses, or have enough influence to block it - would not work.
By owning a significant part of a vital component of our economy, the government would have a DIRECT way of stopping foreign interference.

They held rock concerts there. The same ladies as the hockey games in the red blazers would be “ushers” but I never saw them ushering anyone. Maybe it was a union thing or something. 5,000 hippies smoking dope and talking shit about the gubbmint, they didn’t seem very comfortable at all.

Someone posted a 19th Century British map of Australia, with labels like "suitable for crops", "suitable for grazing", and "worthless".
This got the Woko Haram member upset... "Evil White Man Colonist Poopyhead point of view, not the way the peace-loving shiny rainbow aborigines viewed their sacred land, blah-blah-blah", you know the drill.
Some Aussies pointed out that the aborigines also avoided the areas marked as "worthless", only crossing them when forced, and then crossing as quickly as possible. They didn't live there.

Severe drought here in SW Wyoming. Strict water restrictions, the town has removed all the hanging baskets along Main Street and any other plants requiring water.
I'm up most of the night and I sit out on the patio during the night. It's interesting hearing the neighbors sneaking out around 1 am so they can water their grass.
We might not have drinking water soon, it's that dire, but they will have green grass.

It will go dormant in summer, in drought. Want to keep traffic off of it, but it will be just fine. This has the added bonus - you don’t have to mow it in the hottest part of the year ;
Now the windup is, you can’t bring a lawn out of dormancy by irrigation and then change your mind. That will shock it enough to kill the roots and everything. Just let it go in the summer. When rains return in the fall it will green back up.

This guy was a driver, nearly a hundred miles at speeds over 100 in heavy traffic. It is a thing of beauty to watch. Wearing starched jeans and a pressed shirt, as much as can be from running through a rice field.

I broke rule 1- attacking vulnerable or marginalized people. I appealed by saying legal immigrants from any nation can stay, and I'm not targeting any race or ethnicity because all illegals need to go.
I spoke reality and common sense, though, so I don't like my odds.

As everyone here knows I live in an area full of 29 year olds. One of the Eucharistic Ministers at my Parish has Parkinson's (no giggles please) and she fumbled the Host once for me. The other EM executed a diving catch more violent and quick than Franco Harris during his Immaculate Reception to catch the Host before it touched the floor.
She caught it too!
Posted by: Tonypete at August 22, 2025 10:52 PM (cYBz/)
I deeply appreciate the Catholic defense of the faith: I think it's an area we Protestants need to improve in. I think one of the commenters linked an article about members of the Church who went to the satanic mass abomination and were ready - one man knocked the Host out of the hand of the evil priest while another caught it and ate it before it hit the ground. That kind of seriousness of Christ's church is inspiring.

Do customers make decisions on how the business is run? Obviously if the CEO is a woketard and shits all over those customers by changing everything they like about that business starting with the logo, enough of them may decide to go elsewhere and thereby *influence* future decisions.
But what does that have to do with someone whining about meetups? and more to the point, do you think anyone but Ace should be the final decision maker on who is on a list?Posted by: Helena Handbasket at August 22, 2025 11:37 PM (ULPxl)

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano resumed erupting Friday by shooting an arc of lava 100 feet (30 meters) into the air and across a section of its summit crater floor.
It was Kilauea's 31st display of molten rock since December, an appropriately high frequency for one of the world's most active volcanoes.
The north vent at the summit crater began continuously spattering in the morning, and then lava overflowed a few hours later. The vent started shooting lava fountains in the afternoon.

I have about 3/4 maybe 1 acre of grass. The dude before me was a friend of mine, and never did shit with it, just cut it. No seed, no fertilizer, nothing. Just cut it. I asked him if he ever did anything. He says nah, country yard. I figured ok, lets get a lawn service to do all the chemicals. Poof, 3/4 of what "looked" like lawn vanished and I was left with dirt. It took about 2 years of seeding, along with all the rain we had to finally turn into something nicer than what I started with. Never doing that again though. Hell no. Like my friend did, it just gets cut.

I think I am going to go nuclear on this thing. Shitcan the damfool lawyer-designed motor mounts, and install a pair of the old-style Chebby mounts that were used for decades under
SBC's. I have two NOS ones in a box. Bolt them to the engine block, and make up a pair of pedestals to bolt to the frame. Make the driver's side pedestal so it can telescope, set it in there, jack the engine level, and tack-weld the sucker, then take it out and weld securely. I can even put in a length of chain to keep the engine from rolling over if the driver's side mount should fail in tension.

THis year was funny here. We went from setting/tying a few hot summer records to breaking cool summer records in about 2 days at the beginning of August. GSP set the 90F+ consecutive days record at 42 compared to the old record of 38 in 1993. But we'll come nowhere near the total 90F+ number of days in year. GSP set a couple of daily highest lows, and set a high.
Then, thanks to a strong cold air damming system, they then set a few lowest highs for 2 or 3 days straight, breaking records set in 1908.

Speaking of registering complaints. The NWS forecast office websites all look the same. At first. There's some national template they uses. But get to clicking on the details, and each office does things very differently.
That SF office was nothing like GSP. But then, I figured out a little more of what was what, and I like their layout better than GSP's. They did hide the airport observation list, but I found it. But I actually like their main observations page better than GSP. It's a map where you click on the stations which pops up a little box with a summary.

THis is gonna be a wet August here. I'm already at 9.29" for the month. August is not the wettest month per current 30 year normals, but the wettest months all time have been in August.
All time record was over 19" set in 1908. (You can thank hurricanes/tropical systems for this).
I was alive for the second wettest, in 1995. Over 17" including over 13" in a 24 hour period, which was the all-time record.

I could well be mistaking *this* commenter for another, but I don't have a way to *know* if it's a sock or a brand-new nic. The original comment included "... some of the long-term COBs (one in particular) love enforcing. It's petty and stupid. But in the end ace is the one on the masthead, and he's responsible for deferring to this kind of pettiness." That seems rather direct, and then later "CBD apparently is the one really behind these decisions (he certainly is the one who urged Vic be kept off the departed list)." Maybe I missed some comments on the blog to this effect? It's the first time I've heard this claim.

Sorry, that was unclear. I have *not* had words with crusty offline (that I know of, because if I have, then crusty is hiding behind a sock). It was more of a generic-ish comment about face-to-face conversation being much more in-depth than online, and there are no COBs or such involved (unless they're at the same place).

I remember reading that in Victorian times you could write a letter at breakfast inviting others for lunch, and not only would they show up, you'd actually get a reply before they did.

My local Sam's Club got rid of the "food" court cash registers. To buy a hot dog you have to use the Sam's Club app and use a debit/credit card. To order a $1.50 hot dog, I had to download their stupid app, login into the app, spend 20 minutes trying to figure how to order the hotdog, add it to my shopping cart, check out (heaven forbid you have to enter CC number), wait for the confirmation email/text message, go stand in line for another 20 minutes listening to everybody bitch and moan about this, and if your unlucky you will hear they ran out of hot dogs and it will be another 20 minutes until they are ready.
And still there are elitist asswipes who live on the coasts who smugly think that shoppers at Sam's Club are uneducable.

The false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) is a species of oceanic dolphin that is the only extant representative of the genus Pseudorca. It is found in oceans worldwide but mainly in tropical regions. It was first described in 1846 as a species of porpoise based on a skull, which was revised when the first carcasses were observed in 1861. The name "false killer whale" comes from having a skull similar to the orca (Orcinus orca), or killer whale. The false killer whale reaches a maximum length of 6 m (20 ft), though size can vary around the world. It is highly sociable, known to form pods of up to 50 members, and can also form pods with other dolphin species, such as the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). It can form close bonds with other species, as well as have sexual interactions with them.Just like a dolphin.
But the false killer whale has also been known to eat other dolphins, though it typically eats squid and fish. It is a deep-diver; maximum known depth is 927.5 m (3,043 ft); maximum speed is around 29 km/h (18 mph).An evil river otter being pure evil. Never. Stop. Herding.
A couple of old friends. Years ago I linked the story of Pirate, an absolutely adorable senior dog who spent seven years in the shelter -- and that after living for years as a street dog. No one wanted this old dog, despite how beautiful she was. I always wondered what happened to her. I came across an update, noting that Pirate had sadly died, as old dogs do. But she had a wonderful few years after finally being rescued from the kennel. Bull pushes his drunken owner home from the cantina. Dog shocks itself on electric fence, and donkey laughs and laughs. Older basset hound teaches puppy how to use the doggy door. This sheep is a real wiseacre. Bear doesn't like his look in the mirror. Videos of great queues of people climbing Mt. Everest. It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore. Another cute little kitty-cat. And more kitty-cats. Rhino and son. A nice part of Lake Como, because George Fucking Clooney isn't there.
Dog thought the sermon was meh.

Yes, they froze due to getting caught in bad storms. It’s definitely dangerous. But the actual approach is relatively easy. They have built-in ropes and handrails. Anyone in good shape can do it. Which is why Everest tourism exploded in the 1990s. I looked into it myself.

There was a interesting game "Source of the Nile" where the entire interior was empty and you fitted out expeditions to explore. If your expedition was wiped out, you erased the map that you had discovered. Big expeditions seemed the way to go, but one small hiccup and they all fell apart. It was surprisingly effective to explore solo and get back home to glory.

If you're looking for a seriously challenging sport involving miserable conditions, you could train for the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
People who have done both say that the Iditarod is way harder than climbing Mount Everest.
And I'd bet it easily costs more $100k after all is said and done.

I remember an old Fantasy SF where they discovered a portal into the Miocene, one way. One dude had himself bioengineered so he could climb without oxygen and went back to the Alps since at that point they were higher than Everest.

This win, coupled with his half-sister Rosalind's championship last weekend in Colorado, makes their mutual dam, the late, great Delilah eligible for enrollment in the Borzoi Club of America's Register of Merit (ROM), a program that recognizes sires and dams whose offspring have earned a notable number of titles in conformation and/or performance competition.
Delilah will become the fourth generation, matrilineally, of ROM recipients at Soyara, following her mother Carmen, grandmothers Lacey and Faith, and great-grandmother Possum. These ladies and their progeny have accounted for:
- 30 AKC champions
- 8 all-breed Best in Shows
- 2 BCOA National Specialty Best in Shows
- 12 regional specialty Best of Breeds
- 2 Westminster KC Best of Breeds
- A Morris & Essex KC Best of Breed
- 3 #1 Borzoi in breed rankings
- Nearly 300 Hound Group placements, including 75 Group 1's.

It looks like somebody slipped and tried self-arrest but dragged whoever was on belay or whatever down a couple thousand feet. It’s doubtful either made the summit. Maybe.
If they found Mallory’s camera that might lay matters to rest. In the high altitude cold, there would still maybe usable images.

All done with the knowledge and encouragement of the government. The selling of permits and the influx of money from climbing tourism is huge money for the government and locals. When locals complain, it’s always that they want more money, not anything having to do with spoiling the mountain.

You pay a big deposit before you climb and if you return with a certain amount of trash, you get the deposit back. $5k, I think. Not sure how successful that has been, there are other projects in place to clean, too, but its not easy to manage. The touristing and climbing is what drives the local economy, which is why there has been little interest in limiting it either on the side of the Chinese or Nepalese.

True, but not in the way most people think. The descent is most dangerous because climbers often stay too long on the summit or trying to reach it. They can calculate the weather with surprising accuracy in terms of when to climb, and even how long the window is. But if you stay too long — and many do — you run huge risks of bad weather on the way down. That catastrophe in the 1990s (they made movies about it) was 100% that they stayed too long at the summit.

Mt. Kilamanjaro in Africa has a walking path all the way to the top. I read an account of an ascent, where the author observed walls on either side of the trail.

Re stuff in orbit. Right now, there are around 50,000 pieces of shit > 10 cm in size in orbit. NORAD tracks all of those. There are millions of pieces of smaller stuff.
Look up "Kessler Syndrome". We're not there yet, but it's a potential future problem. Once the density of space junk in orbit reaches a certain density, it causes of cascade, a chain reaction of collisions that would produce a debris field in orbit which would make launching anything new into orbit impossible.

The Week In Woke
Companies that touted their DEI programs in the first part of this decade have largely gone dark on the issue--at least publicly. In the first few years of the 2020s, companies used earnings calls, annual reports, proxy filings, and ESG reports to broadcast their stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), a term that shot into the mainstream after 2020's mass protests over George Floyd's death. In 2020 and 2021 alone,Comcast Corp. pledged $100 million to fight racial injustice and other forms of discrimination. Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. set targets for diversity in top leadership, and Mastercard Inc. became one of many companies to tie executive compensation to environmental, social, and governance metrics. But when President Donald Trump took office for the second time, he endorsed pushback to the corporate world's DEI focus that had been building among conservatives for years. His January pledge to investigate the private sector for "illegal DEI" preceded abrupt slashes to diversity chatter at companies like Target Corp. But Target wasn't the only one either rolling back DEI or downplaying ongoing efforts. The use of the "DEI" acronym has dropped 68% year-over-year in S&P 100 companies, according to a recent report from business think tank The Conference Board.Of course, this doesn't mean DEI is dead -- we've seen colleges simply use other words to continue actually-outlawed DEI discrimination. We won't know how much corporations have abandoned DEI until we learn what exciting new euphemisms they're using for anti-male and anti-white-and-asian racial discrimination. A black female Hatian writer for The New Yorker attacked Sydney Sweeney as an "Aryan princess." You'll never guess -- it turns out she is a virulent anti-white racist but that's okay because apparently there's one race you're allowed, nay encouraged, to hate. But everyone else must continue walking on eggshells around Precious Protected Classes.
A staffer for the New Yorker who denounced Sydney Sweeney as an "Aryan princess" has spouted anti-white and antisemitic rhetoric in social media posts -- before scrubbing her account after being called out on Friday. Doreen St. Felix, 33, had written several racist posts on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, including that "whiteness fills me with a lot of hate" and that "the holocaust is the worst thing to happen to black people."I think she probably means that those tricksy Jews are using their own history of oppression to compete with black foreigners' own demands for infinite victimhood points. Black racists dwell on this a lot. They just reject the Holocaust as being a big deal, as Whoopie Goldberg can tell you. (She claimed the Holocaust wasn't "racist" because Germans and Jews were the same race, which would come as a surprise to the Nazis who wrote Germany's racial codes.)
White people started lice? By the way, Very Well-Informed Elite Writer, the bubonic plague originated in Central Asia and China.
The unearthed inflammatory tweets date back to 2014 -- three years before the Haitian-American journalist was hired by the left-leaning magazine run by longtime editor David Remnick. St. Felix deleted her X account after her comments resurfaced following her recent article for the Conde Nast-owned publication in which she criticized Sweeney's American Eagle campaign. In the 1,040-word piece that ran Aug. 2, she accused Sweeney's fans of wanting to "recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess" and declared there were "plenty of reasons" to dislike the ad. ...
In one tweet targeting white men dated in December 2014, St. Felix wrote: "You all are the worst. Go nurse your f--king Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women." Another simply said: "I hate white men." The resurfaced messages revealed a pattern of racially charged commentary spanning multiple years. In one post, St. Felix admitted she "writes like no white is watching." Another declared that she "would be heartbroken if I had kids with a white guy." Her antipathy extended to broader cultural claims, including assertions that white people's poor hygiene "literally started the bubonic plague, lice, syphilis."
You lived in fucking mud-huts. You're welcome.
She also suggested that "we lived in perfect harmony w/ the earth pre whiteness" and blamed environmental destruction specifically on "white capitalism."
So much Holocaust envy. Princess is so angry that white guys don't dig her and Jews compete with her for victim points.
Her posts also contained tone-deaf references to the Nazi slaughter of six million Jews. In one tweet, she described what she called "the holocaust gesture," writing that "it's tricknological, when white people invoke the holocaust" because it "allows them to step out of their whiteness and slip on fake oppression." She also wrote that "the holocaust birthed trauma studies" and claimed it "explains a lot about why we get so many things wrong about how trauma comes." In another post, she claimed "the tolerability of racism is linked to how its acted out on brown bodies. The holocaust was not tolerable bc of white victims so it ended." ... The Post has sought comment from both Conde Nast and The New Yorker. .. A Dec. 5, 2014, tweet referenced The Post. She wrote: "there's a slow, second holocaust against brown people in this country and the nypost 'Supports the NYPD' so they are terrorists as well."
Another black racist of zero talent who is nevertheless infinitely rewarded for her racism and zero talent is Joy Reid, who recently declared that white men are all "mediocre" because they just have their careers handed to them -- the pot here calls the kettle black -- and have never invented anything. Of course, the only examples of inventions she can think of are styles of music, which, in her mind, are the only inventions that count because black people have some success in music. So those are the only inventions that count. Who invented the computers and cameras she's recording herself on? Who knows. Probably some black genius scientist like you see in Marvel movies who had his patents stolen by the White Devils.
Social media users noted the apparent contradiction between St. Felix's past statements denouncing capitalism and her living conditions. Her listed address corresponds to a $1.3 million home in a gated Brooklyn community overlooking a marina.
Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid condemned President Donald Trump, Elvis Presley and others on Friday as some of history's many "mediocre White men" whose achievements are stolen or counterfeit. Reid criticized Trump's review of the Smithsonian during an interview with Wajahat Ali for his "The Left Hook" substack, in an episode titled, "How Mediocre White Men and Their Fragility Are Destroying America." They argued that across America's institutions, there is a phenomenon of "mediocre White men" with no actual culture of their own who co-opt the achievements of Black people to aggrandize themselves. Ali opened the episode by talking about Trump reforming the Kennedy Center in what his critics call a hostile takeover. The institution, which in recent years had featured drag queen performances, is now being reformed to show decidedly more conservative and pro-American content. Trump announced this year's Kennedy Center awards last week, which he will also be hosting. Joy Reid was one of MSNBC's most controversial anchors for her rhetoric on race, and since her firing, she has continued her same line of incendiary racial commentary. "These people cannot create culture on their own," Ali said. "Without Black people, Brown people, the DEIs, there's no culture in America. We make the food better. We make the economy better. We make the music better. Right? MAGA can't create culture. They got Cracker Barrel and Kid Rock." Reid and Ali claimed that White conservatives practice their own variant of outrage culture where they complain about what they say. "They don't have the intellectual rigor to actually argue or debate with us, right? And what they do is they tattle and tell. They run and tell teacher that 'the Black lady or the Brown man was mean to me.' And that's what they always do," Reid said. Reid, who initially wore a hat dedicated to the historically debatable 1619 Project, then changed to one with the letters "FDT," took special umbrage at Trump's efforts to review the Smithsonian's historical exhibits ahead of America's 250th anniversary. "They can't fix the history they did. Their ancestors made this country into a slave -- a slave hell, but they can clean it up now because they got the Smithsonian. They can get rid of all the slavery stuff," she said. "They got PragerU that can lie about the history to the children. They can't originally invent anything more than they ever were able to invent good music. "We Black folk gave y'all country music, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, rock and roll. They couldn't even invent that, but they have to call a White man 'The King.' Because they couldn't make rock and roll, so they have to stamp 'The King' on a man whose main song was stolen from an overweight Black woman," Reid continued.So if we're talking about historical wrongs, can we talk about current evils, like the absolutely vile levels of black criminality and victimization of members of other races? No? Why not? These people gin up less-socialized blacks to go wilding on whites. They instil absolute hatred of white people in some blacks, and then whites pay the consequences. But yes, let's ignore that and talk forever about slavery (which the White Devils stamped out, at least in the western world, at great expense). CNN's own mediocre black female racist, Abby Philip, is now going on black podcasts to attack her guests for supposedly downplaying slavery, and being racist. She is calling out Scott Jennings -- the only reason people bother watching her very low-rated (91,000 people! In total!) show, as well as Jillian Michael. We'll see if Scott Jennings remains on the show or just quits. Highly fatiguing.
Disturbing footage captured the moment a massive melee broke out on a Carnival Cruise ship among fuming passengers seemingly upset over "chicken tenders." The violence among about two dozen brawlers erupted aboard the Sunshine at about 2 a.m. Monday -- the last day of its voyage -- as the ship was heading back to Miami, according to a passenger who filmed the mayhem.It must be Because Slavery and Because White Supremacy.
A large group of people fighting in a building; a security guard approaches.The violence erupted among about a dozen cruisers who were captured trading blows and slamming each other to the floor. Mike Terra/Instagram "Where the f--k is security?!" one bystander could be heard yelling in the footage as passengers trade blows and slam each other to the floor. Multiple security guards could be seen trying to break up the fight, with one overwhelmed officer fleeing the chaos and reaching for his radio as shoes went flying.
At one point, Bronx content creator Mike Terra -- who filmed the uproar and shared it on his social media channels -- flipped the camera to record his own reaction. "Over chicken tenders is crazy," Terra said in the video.
The content creator who captured the wild melee said it happened on a Carnival Cruise ship at 2 a.m. The content creator who captured the wild melee said it happened on a Carnival Cruise ship at 2 a.m. AP The avid cruiser later responded to intrigued commenters, calling the ruckus an "isolated incident" that escalated over "more" than just food around 2 a.m. after the ship set sail from Miami. And when reached by The Post on Wednesday, Terra admitted: "We weren't close enough to know why [the fight] really started, we just knew they were in line for food."

Well, it is official, Marty Rowland PhD has been fired from his position as Special Issue Editor at the American Journal of Economics and Sociology (AJES). The reason he was given for being fired was his publication of our paper, Carbon Dioxide and a Warming Climate are not problems. The paper has been cited 23 times according to google scholar. It was first published online May 29, 2024, and is already in the top 1% of all 29 million papers followed by Wiley's Altmetric tracker. It is the #2 paper published in the 83-year history of the AJES.From last week: Another mentally-ill AWFL (is there any other kind?) advances menacingly on a man and threatens to have him arrested for stalking her, all because he has, this mentally-ill moron believes, a pure bred dog rather than one adopted from a shelter.
... Dr. Rowland calls his firing "Orwellian," and we totally agree. The challenge [rebuttal article] by Tinus Pulles in an article somewhat offensively titled "Climate Denialism" cites two articles that directly compare "climate deniers" to holocaust deniers, see here for our critique of this paper. May & Crok has withstood all scrutiny to date. The offensive and wildly inaccurate Tinus Pulles critique is the one cited by AJES board most when they explain why they fired Dr. Rowland. In addition, other board members were pressured by Wiley to write critiques of our paper, these are Cobb, 2024 and Gwartney & Lough. Both papers make the same argument that the "consensus" says climate change is dangerous so it must be so. Pulles' critique relies on flawed climate models (also see here and here) projections of the future. Models are not evidence: As to so-called modeling "evidence," it is the models that we are testing; the model results should not be confused with evidence. (Lindzen, 2012) ...
It appears that firing Dr. Rowland was a purely political act and not based on any legitimate problem with our paper, which is solid as far as anyone knows at this time.
We join the mental breakdown of this self-entitled vegan (we find out later) on Monday, August 11 (was there a full moon or something?) as she completely loses her mind at a "racist" man for walking what she believes are pure-bred dogs. And because he owns these "pure-bred" dogs, he's a Trump voter who supports ICE. But, wait, there's so much more. As you'll see in the video, she attempts to get passersby to come to her "aid," feigning that it is he who won't leave her alone and all that implies.
A woman lost her mind and manners today at Mount Tabor Dog Park — because a man had purebred dogs.

Can't just go out to get a burger with friends or co-workers. When he reacts to a food (beef products or other red meat products are in foods you don't expect) he is sick for DAYS.

That's why Disney's animations are so sub-par these days (not even considering the message or the story). They canned most of the established, top of the industry animators because they were straight white older males. There are articles available about this. And, not so remarkably, you can see the decrease in quality. How'd those CGI dwarves in Snow White look to everyone? Nightmares. There's a reason for that.

I got interested in that -- the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (which is looking more and likely, despite everything) and all that, and then got to looking at climate.
Our current period, which started after the Younger Dryas and the megafauna extinction is dubbed the Holocene (whole new world). There was a period there, from about 9000 to 6500 years BP (~7000 - 4500 BC) dubbed the Holocene Climate Optimum.
It was warmer then than now. They have to lie about this. The infamous "hockey stick" was all about showing a vertical increase in temperature to make the recent mean greater than that.
It's all lies. And they know it's a lie.

I'm amused by Neoconfederates (who denounce Lincoln as a tyrant of course) who are completely unaware that the planter aristocracy was the original globalist class. They wanted to import slave labor, sell the raw material abroad and then use that import capital equipment free of tariffs.
They had zero interest in phasing out slavery, but were looking forward to slave-run factories.
This crushed wages on the Old South, which is why Southerners migrated to the Upper Midwest.
The Republicans, by contrast, wanted to build up domestic industry, support agriculture by free people, and of course use tariffs to boost wages and protect against foreign dumping.
Trump's platform is basically Lincoln's from 1860.

I think Trump timed the DC crackdown for when the Europeans were around to show them that politics is the art of the possible (Bismarck) and law and order is possible.
The Presidents and PMs won't see it, but their staff and media from EU will see it and I would not be surprised if it leaks down to the public and they start asking, "why not here, too?" And I think that was Trump's plan.
Trump truly is the leader of the *civilized* world.

It also slows the absorption of carbs/sugars, lessening insulin spikes. The main thing, though is the gut flora "balance".
Our gut flora is getting messed up of late. Modern diet is probably doing it, and maybe some other stuff. Gut flora is very important, and hell, some think we should consider it almost another organ, a symbiotic organ.

In a bizarre twist to an ongoing scandal surrounding New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, former adviser Winnie Greco has claimed that a potato chip bag filled with $300 in cash, which she handed to a local reporter, was merely a “birthday gift” rooted in Chinese cultural traditions.
The problem, aside from it being in a shady sour cream and onion potato chip bag, is that the reporter’s birthday is not until November.

I can't believe anyone is still "calling on" universities and scientists to "interrogate their racism" and "break down privilege" and all that crap. It's ANCIENT. The system you have NOW is a result of all that. People acting like they just discovered it and it's time to get started, do you know anything about the recent past? I wonder what they'd think if they saw how universities were, say, back in the 1980s, just a smattering of gay+lesbian support groups, feminist clubs, and nascent affirmative action already full of failures.

Think last time I was at one was on a vacation at the Chickamauga battlefield where it was extremely hot. I left about sunset and ate at one off the highway to cool off. Decided to skip getting another hotel and power drove north to Cincinnati from Georgia, got there about midnight.
It was a decent enough sit down food place, an upgrate to McDs and such and on highways in Rural midwest.

Present tense. That was an awkward thing about Somalia. Imagine you're an Irish-American Platoon Sgt for a Marine Infantry unit sent to Ireland to prevent mass starvation. And your people are still building with mud and straw. Still primitives.
This was up north in Badera, not Mogadishu. The Marine Corps was paradise as far as race relations go. The color of your skin was no more relevant than the color of your hair. And my Platoon Sgt was a good leader. But this? There was something in his eyes told me he was processing and that it would be wise to pretend I didn't notice his "people" were stuck in the stone age

Rowland specifically asked the climate skeptics to write a paper that would explain their "dumb" ideas. They did. Surprisingly it was extremely well thought out and complete and utilized a great many papers and well sourced evidence.
He then allowed other scientists to publish responses - which were mostly unscientific rants.
he then allowed the climate deniers to respond, which they did with additional information, clarification, and detailed references.
And that was when he got fired.

Most games are decided in the final minute, 105-103. 99-88. Replay the same game that night and the score would be same, but with the winner/loser reversed.
101-100. That's an average of 50 goals per team. Name any other "sport" where teams score 50 goals per game. Most players would be like "I've really enjoyed perfecting my trademark Super Strike double back flip with super-hero landing, but could we look at making the goal smaller?"

Healthzzz and Sciencezzz (and GAINZZZ)
Some stories about GAINZZZ or lackzzz thereofzzz.
The New York Times frets that Christian women are "Thin, White, and Right." Do they not know that Real Health is a three-bill black woman doing simple stretches on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine?No, the idea was not that you had to be "rail thin." It was just that morbid obesity was not healthy and should not be promoted as such. (Note that many of the "stars" of that fat acceptance movement died in their thirties.)
Conservative Christian influencers are reshaping beauty standards and promoting diet culture -- and their messages are resonating with women. In this episode of "The Opinions," the Times Opinion editor Meher Ahmad speaks with the columnist Jessica Grose about how religion and weight loss culture intertwine and why this pairing is gaining traction. ... Meher Ahmad: I'm Meher Ahmad, an editor in the New York Times Opinion section. There's been a resurgence in explicit "be thin" messaging and culture. With the Ozempic boom, we see the body-shaming of actresses like Sydney Sweeney and red carpets that were already filled with thin actresses becoming even thinner.
On the right, there's been a focus on body size that's been bundled up not just with health and wellness but with religion, morals and politics. And so when everything is political and we're more divided than ever, should the size and shape of our bodies be any different? I'm here today with the Opinion writer Jessica Grose to understand why the right is obsessed with thinness and why that message is winning over women. Jess, I want to start first by asking you what the messaging on diet and thinness coming from the Christian influencer spaces is -- what do you see there? Jessica Grose: So it's really encapsulated by some things that the wellness influencer Alex Clark said at the Young Women's Leadership Summit. Audio clip of Alex Clark: Look around this room, let's just be honest. It's never been hotter to be a conservative. You are in this room and you are witnessing a cultural revolution. We've got the girls who lift weights, eat clean, have their hormones balanced, have their lives together. Less Prozac, more protein. Less burnout, more babies. Less feminism, more femininity. Grose: And by contrast, liberals are TikTok activists with five shades of autism, panic attacks and a ring light. So it's really defining what is "normal" as a very narrow ideal of womanhood. It's all tied up with not just body size, but also behavior. Ahmad: Even in that clip, Alex Clark is sort of describing a foil to what she describes as a liberal body type. How much of this is a reaction to a left version of a body type, and what even is that? Grose: So I think it's a reaction to the body positivity movement, which I would say peaked about 10 years ago. It was the idea that weight is not tied directly to health and that you can be healthy and not rail-thin.
They still can't cope with people eating... protein. Protein is Nazi-coded.
I remember at the time, parents of teenage girls were like, yeah, the body positivity movement has not reached this middle school. So I don't ever think that it was dominant and it wasn't just liberals, but I think it was liberal-coded. Ahmad: Who are some of the big names, specifically in the Christian diet trend or conservative women diet trend? Who are the voices that you're seeing?
This is a liberal claiming that she wishes she had a religious-like structure that will tell her what to think about everything. The religion -- You're soaking in it. This will not surprise any of you, but a new study links cellphone use by kids with mental illness.
Grose: I know they sell products from their store that are emphasizing a meat-heavy lifestyle as healthy, which again, it is part of mainstream culture. I mean, you can't throw a rock without hearing somebody talking about protein, which I've also written about before, but it's just putting the conservative gloss on it. Ahmad: What about the messaging is putting on the conservative gloss? Because I think, as you said, a lot of this feels familiar territory, especially the fixation on protein. I mean, Khloe Kardashian came out with a protein popcorn. I'm curious about how it overlaps with Christianity in particular and like what makes these influencers pair diet cultures with more of a religious or moral tent. ...
Ahmad: That's one thing I'm interested in with these particular influencers is the desire for the way that they look or how they behave should be in line with certain values that are politically aligned with the conservative movement. How do you see the political aspect of it pairing with the way that these women are presenting themselves physically, online and in the world? Grose: It's all traditional gender roles. That litany of things that Alex Clark listed, it's marriage, babies, fitness, protein -- it's all one very narrow image. Anyone who is not conforming to that image is sort of outside the circle. It's also in a moment where we do see fewer female leaders across the board -- I would say Democrats and Republicans. So the idea that women should be physically smaller goes along with the idea that they're not going to be the ones out front taking up space. ... Ahmad: ... When I look at these Christian diet influencers, in a way, the appeal to me is totally apparent because especially when it comes to things like food, American food culture is so confusing. There's so many options. What you're meant to eat, or what powders you should be taking, changes day by day, week by week. There's so much decision making that has to go into everything. And the guidance on what you should eat, especially with MAHA becoming more part of our culture, there's an inherent distrust of a lot of information. Having just a clear set of guidelines based on something like religion almost feels like a relief. Sometimes I'm envious; I wish I believed in something that just told me how to live my life.
And once kids become mentally ill, don't count on psychologists to help them. They're focusing laser-like on Woke Cures.
Owning a smartphone before age 13 is associated with poorer mental health and well-being in early adulthood, according to a global study of more than 100,000 young people. Published today in the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, the study found that 18- to 24-year-olds who had received their first smartphone at age 12 or younger were more likely to report suicidal thoughts, aggression, detachment from reality, poorer emotional regulation, and low self-worth. The data also shows evidence that these effects of smartphone ownership at an early age are in large part associated with early social media access and higher risks of cyberbullying, disrupted sleep, and poor family relationships by adulthood. A team of experts from Sapien Labs, which hosts the world's largest database on mental well-being, the Global Mind Project--where the data for this research was pooled from--are calling for urgent action to protect the mental health of future generations. "Our data indicates that early smartphone ownership--and the social media access it often brings--is linked with a profound shift in mental health and well-being in early adulthood," says lead author, neuroscientist Dr. Tara Thiagarajan, the founder and Chief Scientist of Sapien Labs.
Therapy's Identity Politics Problem The field has embraced left-wing racialism. Psychotherapy used to be a refuge from politics, but it's become another front in the culture war. Therapists once helped people face reality. Today, more and more, they urge patients to interpret it through a hierarchy of oppression. As a psychotherapist with more than two decades of experience, I have observed this shift firsthand. Hundreds of patients have come to me after being frustrated or even harmed by previous therapists, who encouraged them to interpret their struggles through the lens of identity politics. A black man, for example, came to me after a failed round of therapy with another provider. He wasn't just anxious; he was disillusioned. "I went in for help managing anxiety," he said. "But the therapist kept steering the conversation back to racism, even though I never brought it up. I left feeling like I was being treated as a black person first, and a human being second." A gay man told a similar story. "I wanted help managing stress at work," he said. "But every session focused on supposed shame over being gay, even though that wasn't why I was there. I felt pushed into a narrative that didn't fit me." Graduate programs are no longer producing healers, but political activists with therapy licenses. Instead of teaching students to treat anxiety, depression, or relationship issues using evidence-based methods, many programs now encourage trainees to develop "critical consciousness." That means guiding clients to interpret their distress through the lens of systemic oppression, rather than addressing individual agency, patterns, or choices. At the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, for example, the Master's in Counseling program is "grounded in principles of social justice." Its mission is "to prepare and inspire a diverse student body to provide culturally sensitive mental health services that support resiliency, recovery, and social justice." Similarly, Antioch University boasts that it teaches trainees to confront "oppression" and become agents of "racial, economic, and environmental justice." In 2023, a graduate student sued Antioch, alleging that the school trained counselors to label white clients as "privileged" and minority clients as victims. This activist mindset is taking over the field. The American Counseling Association--one of the profession's largest organizations--instructs therapists to "employ empowerment-based theories to address internalized privilege" and "engage in social action to alter laws and policies."
I missed this from a few weeks back: Two "bioethicists" -- they're actually political extremist mad scientists -- propose infecting humanity, without its consent, with an incurable disease which will render them unable to eat meat. They want to spread this disease... via ticks.
A case in point--and there are many others, including those approving ghoulish experiments on children in "gender affirming care," "death with dignity," and experiments on aborted fetuses--is this pair of Western Michigan University "bioethicists" who want to infect human beings with a disease that makes people allergic to meat. Because ticks transmit the disease, they called their paper in the journal Bioethics "Beneficial Bloodsucking." How appropriate. Here is the abstract:"But we're the experts!" the lunatics babbled in their padded cells.
The bite of the lone star tick spreads alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a condition whose only effect is the creation of a severe but nonfatal red meat allergy. Public health departments warn against lone star ticks and AGS, and scientists are working to develop an inoculation to AGS. Herein, we argue that if eating meat is morally impermissible, then efforts to prevent the spread of tickborne AGS are also morally impermissible. After explaining the symptoms of AGS and how they are transmitted via ticks, we argue that tickborne AGS is a moral bioenhancer if and when it motivates people to stop eating meat. We then defend what we call the Convergence Argument: If x-ing prevents the world from becoming a significantly worse place, doesn't violate anyone's rights, and promotes virtuous action or character, then x-ing is strongly pro tanto obligatory; promoting tickborne AGS satisfies each of these conditions. Therefore, promoting tickborne AGS is strongly pro tanto obligatory. It is presently feasible to genetically edit the disease-carrying capacity of ticks. If this practice can be applied to ticks carrying AGS, then promoting the proliferation of tickborne AGS is morally obligatory.
Yes, they claim that infecting people with a disease is "morally obligatory," therefore, ticks should be bioengineered to spread the disease to all of us.

I can't remember if I read this or saw this in a podcast (might have been on Chris Williamson YouTube interviews), but an interesting theory is that a child's brain is not developed enough to handle such a large world at early ages.
Prior to the social media era, children grew up knowing only their families and a few friends in play groups. Then their social group grew when they started elementary school. Then their social group grew more when they went to high school. Then their social group grew more when going to college or starting a career.
That was the normal progression of growing up. You would gradually expand your world as you became more mature, and as your brain became more mature to handle it.
Now, though, with social media, kids' social groups now include the entire world, instead of just a few people they know in real life. It's a massive adjustment.

Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has addressed why he wears jeans to exercise after videos of him working out in the unorthodox athletic attire raised eyebrows.
Kennedy revealed that the unusual sartorial choice is just a matter of habit during an interview on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday.
“Well, I just started doing that a long time ago because I would go hiking in the morning and then I’d go straight to the gym, and I found it was convenient, and now I’m used to it, so I just do it,” he told Watters when asked about his outfit.

JFK had policies focusing on health. Obama also had a policy focusing on health.
I wonder if Rachel realizes that because of government healthcare, the incentive is to save the government money by either making people be healthy or making people die.
Zombie had a great essay on this in 2009 regarding socialized healthcare. And how if we are taxed to pay for people's healthcare, then it becomes our business that people live healthy lifestyles so they're not taking our money to pay for their unhealthy lifestyle.

I started with Intermittant Fasting. It works for me. I always ate breakfast, so I just gave up breakfast and pushed it to 10:00 or 11:00. Noon if possible. I lost 2-3 pounds per month and kept it off.
I also started walking with a weighted vest and worked to get at least 10,000 steps and up my activity. I lift weights sporadically throughout the day (I work from home) and I do some morning stretches and plank for the abdomen.
I usually stop eating by 4:00 or 5:00 pm. Now, I am not perfect, and I am not obsessive about my eating schedule but I am mindful and on special occasions I don’t worry about it. I IF about 90-95% of the time.
I eat lots of meat and protein. I am fitter and healthier now as a 59 year old woman and I feel good. 5 years ago during covid, I felt horrible. Who didn’t, right?
So that is my secret to some success.
Exercise benefits the body and the mind. It’s very true.

Long story short: I’m now running about the same number of miles weekly as I did pre-replacement. The prosthetic is holding up quite nicely…. It will NEVER feel as good as the original or work as well… but it’s good enough. I’m moving…. Definitely not as fast but I would’ve slowed down with age anyway
BTW…. It was really, really hard to learn to run again. Really hard…. Physically hard but even more difficult mentally to trust that prosthetic. Lots of orthos would forbid this so I suspect I’m among a very tiny minority that returns to running after replacement

Thanks! I do feel better in many ways. Most surprising to me is the significant reduction in trips and falls. I always fell hard when I tripped at my heavier weights. Now I can recover from trips without falling and rarely trip. Why tripping reduced I don't know. Why I no longer fall due to tripping or losing my balance momentarily, I attribute to changes in my center of gravity without the huge belly. My c.g. moved backwards towards my spine/hips/legs/shoulder axis, and moved lower. Physics!

I had bilateral inguinal hernia repair surgery last week, so aside from the GAINZZZ of no hernias, I won't be doing much in the gains department for a bit.
Currently, limited to lifting an absolute max of 5-10 lbs.
Funny, thing is that I was unaware of having a hernia until I was lying in bed one night and coughed(allergies) and noticed a bulge come up in my lower abdomen, and I thought, "Hey, I bet that's a hernia." And yes, it was my intestine bulging out to say "howdy".
Anyway, all good now so...semihemidemiGAINZ.

My weight it 166 last week, four pounds shy of Army Basic. However, my wife observed that I lack the same muscle mass, so I'm lifting more and doing walks with weights, and I'm up to 168, but it's all muscle.
I'm making an effort to eat more protein.
Here's what I eat: 1 slice of toast with coffee and OJ (1g)
Lunch is Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of Grape Nuts (4g). I let them sit for 15 minutes so it's less like chewing gravel. Add carrots or granola for 2g plus a sandwhich (2g wheat bread) or soup wiht beans and such (4g)
Snacks: Pretzel rods (1 g), canned pears (7g), raspberries (6g), Triscuits (3-6 depending how much I eat). Also ice cream with Fiber One. (4-6g). Popcorn has a lot of fiber, too.
The goal is to hit 25g/day, which isn't that hard.

As of this week I'm officially down 50lbs from my high of 285. I hit 235 on Tuesday, all while improving my muscle ratio.
Yes I'm on a GLP-1 but I'm also walking 30 minutes every morning on the treadmill and immediately following that by situps. Then after work on Monday thru Thursday I'm working out for 30 minutes with a personal trainer. Yesterday I managed to incline press the 75lbs free weights which was an all time high. I know I still have a ways to go but that felt good.

I've got a system of buying roasts when the go on sale, and slicing them into steaks, freezing them, and when needed thawing them in a marinade that also tenderizes them and then cooking them on the grill or air fryer coated with seasonings and olive oil.

This karma wasn't from being anti-Trump, but from not being anti-Trump enough. He should've done more to get Trump to keep him from being reelected.

Yeah, it doesn't just make you not able to eat red meat -- it MAKES YOU SICK. It has made his life difficult -- can't eat out because of cross-contamination.

Yesterday I saw my hematologist, and learned that the iron condition I've been struggling with since October 2023 is under control!
I have iron overload--the opposite of anemia. It's hereditary--my twin brother had it too. Iron stores up in the liver and other places instead of being used. It's treated by diet--iron-rich foods like beef come off the menu--and by having a pint of blood drawn every few weeks. A pint's a pound, and I don't have any to spare, so I've really had to struggle.
But now I can eat beef again! And, as my doctor said, Enjoy my libations!

Variety: Disney Seeks Original IP Which Will Appeal to Young Men
Wait wait wait.
You spent $4 billion on Marvel broaden the female-skewing Disney audience to include young men. You immediately then spent $4.05 billion to acquire Star Wars (and Indiana Jones) to broaden the largely-female Disney audience to include young men. Then you turned both of those franchises into female-skewing Disney Princess brands, and men stopped paying to see these movies. And now Disney says: Hey, we need an original IP that will appeal to young men. (Which, if it succeeds (which is doubtful), we will immediately then turn into another female-skewing Disney princess brand.) This is like the left whining "We need our own Joe Rogan." You had your own Joe Rogan. He was named Joe Rogan. But now Disney says we need our own Joe Rogan demographic IP, because the sci-fi intergalactic war and sci-fi single-battle fighting IPs are now Girl Properties.Disney's Boy Trouble: Studio Seeks Original IP to Win Back Gen-Z Men Amid Marvel, Lucasfilm StrugglesMany of us -- who are young (or young-at-heart) males ourselves -- have warned that we would stop seeing these movies if they continued insisting they should be Disney Princess movies. We were called sexist, racist trolls (who only represented a tiny fraction of the audience). And now, with Marvel in free fall and Star Wars not even producing movies any longer, Variety says we were right. (Without, you know, actually admitting that we were right.)
Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty aren't the only ones looking for a prince. Leadership at Walt Disney Studios has been pressing Hollywood creatives in recent months, multiple sources tell Variety, for movies that will bring young men back to the brand in a meaningful way. "Young men" is defined here by sources as ages 13-28, aka Gen Z. First, duh. Every film studio is looking for better ways to convert young audiences into habitual moviegoers. Numerous studies show that Gen Z men in particular are a lonely, gaming-obsessed group who were hampered in their formative years by COVID-19 lockdowns -- not the easiest segment to grasp.The amount of pure hatred the Gaslight Media pours on straight boys and men is almost Nazi-level.
But what's surprising producers, writers and other partners in the larger industry is that Disney has been calling for original concepts to lure the demo back to the movies.LOL. Here's an idea: Make an Indiana Jones movie -- stay with me -- in which Indiana Jones is the actual hero. No, no, that's too simple. Disney needs to create an original IP. Something, you might have noticed, they haven't even bothered trying for a decade.
Woah, global adventures and treasure hunts? You mean, exactly like Indiana Jones? Your idea of "original IP" doesn't track with my own.
This is the same Disney whose multibillion-dollar content engines, Marvel and Lucasfilm, have sated men of all ages over almost two decades since the company acquired them. The sources say Disney has been seeking new IP and pitches such as splashy global adventures and treasure hunts, as well as seasonal fare like films for the Halloween corridor. The calls come as the Star Wars machine struggles to produce any film project and the superhero genre sheds audiences by the minute.
Perfect. Daria sounds like the perfect liberal woman to conjure up an "original IP" that appeals to young conservative-tilting men.
While two insiders say the mandate to recruit young males goes as high as the C-suite, the task primarily has fallen on David Greenbaum, the former Searchlight Pictures co-head brought on in 2024 to run Disney's live-action film business. That label has been sorely lacking in guy-leaning fare, like the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, for nearly 10 years. (Studio insiders say the property is in active development, though not in its last reported iteration involving Margot Robbie). To say nothing of the lackluster attempt to reboot and hand off "Indiana Jones" in 2023, which earned $383 million worldwide on a $300 million budget before marketing costs. A Disney source says that movies for Gen Z men are part of an overall strategy across all labels, but no more urgent than any other quadrant. Greenbaum recently hired Daria Cercek, the savvy former Paramount Pictures co-chief, to assist in this effort.
Concurrent to Greenbaum's hire, the corporation bought a $1.5 billion equity stake in gaming juggernaut "Fortnite," which will incorporate Disney's iconic stable of characters. Two sources say Disney does not, however, enjoy movie rights to "Fortnite" itself, which would seem a no-brainer in luring Gen Z to theaters.Well Fortnite certainly would be an "original IP." I mean, it's been around for seven years and you want to pack it full of old Disney characters, but I guess that's "original" by Disney standards.
Yes, Disney was the un-refuted king of the box office last year. It will win again this year, with two films potentially crossing the $1 billion mark ("Avatar: Fire and Ash" and "Zootopia 2").So much original IP!
... Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed as much on a quarterly earnings call this month, saying his film group won't favor existing IP over original material. The priority, Iger said, "is to put out great movies."LOL. That sounds as reasonable a goal as Disney suddenly able to create its own "original IP" that will appeal to straight men.
It's a flop. Just say so. It will bring in less money that Captain America: Brave New World, which is already recognized as a flop.
Much has been written about the narrowing audience for superhero movies. The performance of Marvel's latest release, "Fantastic Four: First Steps," which aimed to launch yet another superhero franchise led by Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, failed to meet expectations.
That's despite good reviews, a promising opening weekend and the full attention of Marvel czar Kevin Feige. "Star Wars" has not produced a film in seven years (a big-screen adaptation of Disney+ hit "The Mandalorian" is coming next year). ... "I never thought I'd say it," the exec muses about the Magic Kingdom's boy troubles despite its gem box of iconic IP, "but it looks like Disney is going to have to start trying."Disney? Trying? Now we're really in science-fiction territory.

It might have cost less money than Brave New World which went through a lot more reshoots.
Maybe.
Which might allow F4 to come close to breaking even at theaters in an environment where Disney has cannibalized its home video revenue stream in favor of streaming which is meant to buoy the costs of massively expensive shows.
And that's why Disney greenlights films: to maybe make a small profit!

Advice to anyone with a brilliant fiction idea: Do NOT sell to Disney if you're the artiste-ic type. You have to sign away your rights to every dot on every i and give up on ever having an atom of creative control over your stuff.

Kasdan had his moment in the 80s. Maybe it was the people he was working with that brought the best out of him back then, but his influence on the early sequel era was either negative or muted by other collaborators. Not sure.
But Lucas was definitely more hands off of Empire than he was on Return.

That should have always been the priority, since that's where the money comes from. Disney chose another path and now they're struggling to get back on the right (read "profitable") one because they're so lost they don't even know where the hell they are.
Might have helped if they hadn't burned the map because it was "mansplaining" the territory to them.

She had a movie come out last weekend, actually. It bombed.
Well, sort of. It was barely advertised, two years old, and mostly a bare minimum release in order to honor a contract with the production company the distributor bought it from.
Still, it's going to be used as an excuse to try and tamp down on her career. No idea if it'll work.

—Ace
Warhammer by Disney?
We could have a dour but well meaning Primarch who obviously has space-daddy issues crashes on an unexplored world and is followed around by a dumb but well meaning Orgyn happy to finally see another abhuman. After they have an argument the two separate, but just as things look dark for our Primarch the Orgyn shows up and eats the heretiks that were about to ambush him.
The two then save a Sister of Battle from Slaaneshi cultists and the movie ends on a happy song as the Sister of Battle uses a Heavy Flamer on the captured heretics.
This would hit all of Disney's favored notes...
Conveniently (mostly) dead parents
Strong female lead
Dumb but nice side kick that likes to sing
Learning the importance of friendship
Flaming
Sexually ambiguous perverts

Not to be trite, but f them. Once people show you what their true intent is, I am not certain how you ever forget that. Since the motive here is financial you can be assured their pining is for your dollars not anything else.
Disney and Marvel had a genuine audience attracted to their characters because they identified with them. They took that trust, and curiously then proceeded to tell you what a bad person you were for not only believing in those characters values, but how Neanderthal you were for not embracing the woke garbage they wanted to foist upon you. In that regard, they are a lot like liberal Democrats who want to use the auspices of government to force your behavior and steal any liberties you might enjoy if you oppose them. That’s more a casus belli than a pitch for my viewership or vote. YMMV

Star Wars is a Japanese samurai story in pulp-sci-fi drag.
The "real warriors" are men of the past who fight with swords, not these new-fangled gunslingers.
They learn how to fight from a wizened old reclusive master.
Their fighting style is kendo-based, not western techniques.
Darth Vader even wears a "kabuto" helmet: round top, skirt around the back of the neck, scary mask on the front.

Then I just lost it when a sub that imploded ten years ago somehow had power, and draining a single compartment (btw: hahahahaha) made the entire boat start rolling. Oh, and the little nuclear device on his wrist that somehow powered the whole boat.
Then he strips down to his underwear, somehow opens a torpedo tube door FROM THE INSIDE OF IT and swims naked in arctic water without dying in thirty seconds.

Gripping scenes as they smuggle young black women through the lines to receive their services. Finally, the Bible-thumpers break through and massacre everyone. The lead abortionists final words are 'death before death'.

I think I've told this story before, but circa 2007 I was part of a group that Disney wanted to hire to brainstorm and make male-friendly original IP video games which they could then turn into movies/TV/rides/whatever. The process went pretty far (we found office space that they leased and computers and furniture were ordered) but their board pulled the plug when the deal went up for final approval because they didn't think it was actually a problem that their audience demographics were very lopsided.

David's theory is that they do it because they know "real change" can't come from an individual psycho killing a CEO and essentially its a pressure valve. There are two problems with this theory one this would mean they were signing up to have some of their own killed and two they've got no problem riling people up against them even if its ineffectual.
And that's...kind of dumb. When has an elite group ever made propaganda encouraging people to hold them as villains?!?
The answer is staring anyone in the face and Wong's dumb soft liberalism stops him from seeing it. The FNM stirs up anger against CEOs and "the rich" because they want to be able to get people angry enough to kill "bad" CEOs and the "bad rich". They don't see themselves as part of this group - just like the millionaire leftists I know demanding taxes on "the rich" but...not them. And this blindness then leads to problems like Luigi the Murderer going after some Obama loving Healthcare CEO instead of Elon Musk...

I've seen YT shorts from a series titled "Evil" that had a strong Catholic slant (Canadian?). It even included demonic prelates and heroic nuns (not original). But, interesting.

Biden Spokesman Ian Sams Insited to the Public That Biden Was Healthy and Mentally Sharp.
Then He Admited He Had Only Interacted With Biden Twice in Two Years.
This absolute scumbag and liar.
Even though Sams only met with Joe Biden twice, according to Comer, Sams was one of the loudest voices on outlets like MSNBC, saying Biden was "fit." Comer said Sams would try to counter what Special Counsel Robert Hur said about Joe Biden, for example. "Robert Hur spent more time with Joe Biden than Ian Sams," Comer said. Indeed, Comer said he, Comer, interacted more with Joe Biden. He said Sams didn't have a good memory of those two interactions, which made him think they were short. So how could he say anything about Joe Biden's fitness? Comer called Sams' two interactions "shocking." Comer said there were "very few people" who were around Biden toward the end when most of the pardons were signed.This scumbag will certainly not admit to any suspicions about why this "fit" man was being hidden even from senior staff. Apparently he gave interviews to Congress previously, insisting Biden was "at the top of his game." But he didn't disclose he had only seen Biden twice, in a "limited capacity."
"It raises serious concerns and serious questions about who was calling shots at the White House," Comer explained. "If the White House spokesperson was being shielded from the president of the United States, who was operating the Oval Office?"
c DaughertyThat seems like a lie to Congress.
@EricLDaugh
🚨 BREAKING: Top Biden comms operative Ian Sams just testified before the House on Joe Biden's mental decline and CONTRADICTED the other interviews. Sams only interacted with Biden *2 TIMES* - but constantly said how he knows Biden is mentally "at the top of his game." "2 times. The ENTIRE time he worked in the White House. That's astonishing!" Rep. Comer said "This was a huge interview and I think it contradicts EVERYTHING that the former Biden people are saying with respect to the president's mental fitness."
Ian Sams looks like this, because of course he does. How could he look any other way?

https://tinyurl.com/277ywy6a
I think it was Noem but maybe Bondi who said when the corrupt courts were forcing this bullshit that Garcia would never be allowed to stay in the US even if the courts made them bring him back on a technicality.
Trump has been battling these dirtbags pretending to be judges on illegals since day 1 and while there have been some temporary setbacks he always wins in the end. I'm ok with making this piece of garbage the face of the Democrat Party a bit longer. One way or another he's not staying in the US.

Garcia's deportation order is still valid and unchallenged. The problem was his asylum claim against sending him back to El Salvador, his home country.
It is accepted practice to send such cases to third party countries with agreements with the US to accept them.
Like South Sudan.
ICE will pick him up, I suspect, and have him on a plane out of the country within the day. We'll see.

Garcia's criminal conviction is far less important than his deportation.
According to what JackStraw posted, ICE will have 72 hours from the release before they can pick him up.
And then he's out. He's a high profile case. There's going to be a squad on him the entire 72 hours tracking him.

The argument being if you have fewer people then bedrooms the government should tax you to force you into a smaller dwelling, ideally a "small high rise apartment" (aka a tenement).
And remember ALL their population group is coming from immigrants - so if they do this they'll be forcing Heritage Aussies out of their homes to give them to 3rd worlders...
But remember The Great Replacement Theory is a racist hoax...

This nonsense almost never works. England had a "window tax" long ago, and people just bricked up their windows to avoid the tax. In the Balkans where I was, many homes had a window upstairs unfinished...that meant the home was "unfinished" and still under construction, so the tax rate was lower. The windows just never go finished.
In Australia, I assume people will find some loophole. In the US, you could remove closets so rooms are no longer technically "bedrooms", for example. Then, either put them back in when selling, or a new trend starts where we end up like much of Europe, with no closets, and instead, furniture like wardrobes.

Hubbymayhem shaves his head. He looks good bald and younger. His hair started going a lovely silver when he was around 40. No big deal but it did make him look older than he was. He and both of my brothers decided to shave their heads. Just for the hell of it. My brothers stayed with it for several years but Hubbymayhem has made it semi permanent. He doesn't shave when he's out on the road but does when he's at home. I like the way it looks.

DOJ Prosecutors Secured Evidence Proving That James Comey Violated the Espionage Act by Illegally Disseminating Classified Information to Non-Authorized Persons But, Get This, Decided Not to Prosecute
Was he lacking "intent," I wonder, grimly.
I'll bet you $100 Ace-Bucks that the prosecutors hid this evidence and this decision from Trump. Remember that the Deep State Democrat Operative Ron Rosenbaum was effectively the unappointed AG during much of Trump's first term, after the Deep State worked so assiduously to conjure up a conflict-of-interest and sideline Jeff Sessions.
Federal prosecutors gathered evidence from James Comey's top lieutenants that he authorized the leak of classified information to reporters just before the 2016 election but declined to bring criminal charges, according to recently declassified memos that call into question the former FBI director's testimony to Congress. The bombshell revelations involving ex-FBI general counsel James Baker and ex-Comey chief of staff James Rybicki were memorialized in documents that FBI Director Kash Patel discovered earlier this year, but the passages were originally redacted by the Justice Department in versions sent to Congress earlier this month. Attorney General Pam Bondi intervened and eliminated the redactions, dispatching new versions of the memos this week to the House and Senate Judiciary committees, officials told Just the News. The memos detail evidence and interviews gathered by U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents concerning classified information leaked to The New York Times in October 2016, ahead of the November election in which Republican Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton. "The USPIS Investigation also revealed Baker disclosed USG [U.S. government] classified information to the NYT under the belief he was ultimately instructed and authorized to do so by then FBI Director James Comey," one summary memo reads. "For example, during interviews, Baker indicated FBI Chief of Staff James Rybicki instructed him (Baker) to disclose the information to the NYT, and Baker understood Rybicki was conveying this instruction and authorization from Comey. The memos don't identify the specific pieces of classified information that were leaked or whether Comey or anyone else was authorized to declassify them for the media. But they were investigated by multiple prosecutors, including the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., under Trump's first administration and by future-special prosecutor John Durham, and all declined to bring criminal charges, the memos show.
Read the whole thing. It's enraging.
Bondi told Just the News on Thursday she was committed to bringing accountability for the yet unpunished leaks. "This document produced at my direction confirms what many Americans have long suspected: former FBI Director James Comey and his chief of staff engaged in abhorrent conduct," she said. "There must be accountability for those who were entrusted with safeguarding our nation's secrets and failed to do so." Comey previously denied during congressional testimony that he had ever been a source in news articles related to the FBI's investigations into Trump and Clinton and further denied that he had ever approved of anyone else at the FBI being such a source. He has long denied any wrongdoing and insisted he has been politically attacked because he stood up to Trump. ... A recent barrage of declassified documents showing Comey and current Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., may have been behind national security leaks over the last decade designed to harm Trump may prove more than just an exercise in historical accountability. Legal experts say the statute of limitations for prosecution under espionage laws for leaks back in 2016 or 2017 can be extended to 10 years if the act was knowing and willful and harmed national security or was part of an ongoing criminal conspiracy that continued into the last five years. "The general federal statute of limitations is five years, but espionage that harms our national interest is 10 years and covering up the crime continues the conspiracy," explained Mike Davis, a former top Senate Judiciary Committee lawyer who now runs the nonprofit Article III Project on constitutional law. "The Trump DOJ can open up a criminal probe that investigates this malicious disclosure of classified information that harms our national interest," he said.

he can't "authorize" any such thing. That makes it sound like what he did was legal. But he was unauthorized to authorize any such thing.
This may explain so much of the shenanigans during Trums first time as president - much of it was to keep him and his team occupied so they couldn't chase down this stuff. All the terrible shit they did before 2016 had to be covered up during the Trump presidency. Tangling trump and sessions in legal knots was the strategy.
I think trump, in the last four years, figured out what had happened.

“Intent” became the word of the day with Mrs. Clinton and the phony baloney unsecured bathroom servers she conducting official state business with. She didn’t intend to have all that highly confidential top secret stuff on there, so no harm no foul.

Trump pushed them into “harm themselves and others, complete psychotic break” territory however. This is a good thing in a way. It would have happened sooner or later, better now when things are relatively calm then during even worse crisis.

Trump, Like Batman, Rallies the Forces of Justice in Crime-Ridden Shithole As Washington DC Records Its First Murder-Free Week Since March
Apparently Trump did not go on patrol after all. Sadly! I imagine this is because left-wing lunatics would take multiple shots at him and the Secret Service said "No way, Jose."
Terrorist wire service AP says that citizens are "on edge," not about the rampant crime, murder, and carjackings in their city, but that the police are setting up checkpoints and looking for criminal illegal aliens.Federal authorities have set up checkpoints around the nation's capital, sometimes asking people for their immigration status and detaining them, as President Donald Trump's crackdown ensnares more residents each day.The crackdown is "ensnaring more citizens," you see. Not arresting criminals -- "ensnaring more citizens." I thought "No one is above the law." Was I misinformed?
Trump claimed that a crime crisis required his Republican administration's intervention in the Democratic-led city this month, brushing aside statistics that showed the problem was already waning. However, immigration enforcement appears to be a priority, as more than a third of people arrested in the last two weeks were in the country illegally, according to the White House. Hundreds of federal agents and National Guard soldiers have surged into Washington, leaving some residents on edge and creating tense confrontations in the streets.Tense confrontations? You mean criminals attempting to obstruct law enforcement, don't you?
Weird. The crime crisis was all a fantasy. The real fear turns out to be... policemen and troops keeping an eye on criminals.
A day care center was partially closed Thursday when staff became afraid to go to work because they heard about federal agents nearby. An administrator asked parents to keep their children at home if possible. Other day cares have stopped taking kids on daily walks because of fears about encountering law enforcement.
People didn't have their lives stolen by demons this week, and this makes the left sad.
As the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the Trump administration's takeover of the Washington DC police force begins to fade, the results are coming in, and they are nothing short of extraordinary. As of Wednesday afternoon, the nation's capital has had no murders for seven days, something that had not been achieved since March and something I can find no recent record of in summer months when the murder rate is typically at its highest. Last Monday, when a man was tragically gunned down in Logan Circle just hours after the Trump takeover, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., took to social media to say that "Trump owns this. No word if the congressman agrees Trump also owns the lives saved this past week. And it's not just murder, according to the local police union. Robbery dropped 46% in the week after the takeover, carjackings were down a whopping 83%, and violent crime down 22%. Who could possibly argue against that? What DC needed was not a slow and steady approach to crime that fluctuates the rates here and there. It needed a shock to the system, and it got one. The patient is responding very well. ... The only real question left to ask about Trump's efforts to fight crime in DC is, why didn't we do this sooner? ... [Chinese spy-hooker fornicator and public farter Eric] Swalwell is absolutely right: Trump owns this remarkable drop in crime in Washington that we are witnessing, just as his Democrats own the killing fields they allowed it and so many of our cities to become in the first place. For the first time in a long time in our capital, there is hope that children being murdered in gang shootouts can be a rare tragedy again, not a predictable occurrence.

Trump is making sure to bring lots of attention to this. He wants to the public to see that we can take back our cities and we don’t have to allow crime to run rampant.

It's no good news to CNN, where racist black woman Abby Philip is boohoo whinin' and cryin' that Stephen Miller and JD Vance used mean "rhetoric" to insult the "elderly white hippies" who were rudely heckling them. Abby Philip is employed at network that has called Trump a racist rapist every day for almost ten years, but she thinks the Real Story in DC isn't the sudden collapse of crime culture, but JD Vance very accurately identifying the out-of-towners being bused in to take part in paid protests. Our violence is speech, your speech is violence. I hope Scott Jennings quits her show and leaves her with zero ratings. Then she can cry about the White Man sabotaging her some more.

Don't think of the Dems as bleeding hearts, soft on crime.
Think of them as the political wing of the crime syndicates.
And then everything makes sense.

This is all probably true. The number of illegals working at these day care centers is off the charts. This is all about protecting filthy parasitic illegals. It has nothing to do with the kids.

Gettysburg Farmhouse Restaurant, Hickory Hills Entertainment Center, Hanover, Pa (A go-cart place), two Mennonite Centers, one in Lititz, Pa one in Spring Grove, Pa and the Sepp Travel Center in Clearfield County in Western PA.
Incubation period for measles is 21 days.
The go-cart place is about a mile from my house. Mennonites in abundance here. I was in the checkout line behind a Mennonite woman and her kids yesterday at Hobby Lobby. Wonderful people. Pray for no outbreaks from this. School just went back in session the other day.

Anyone afraid of the police needs to get their heads screwed on straight - the police have zero interest in harassing average citizens. Thye actually don't WANT to arrest anyone - it's a big fucking hassle. Lots of paperwork. Risk.
So, the thing is, listen to what they say, comply with their orders, and be nice. Cop tells you to scoot, you scoot. Don't mouth off. Don't ask a million questions.
I've had run ins with cops, never arrested. Because I know that, end of the day, they just want peace and order, not a mountain of paperwork.

The remake is almost the exact same movie as the original. Except it doesn't work as well, in large part because the "cute dragon pets" thing works better when the dragons are cartoons.
Lotsa swarthy Vikings speaking in English accents. Wtf?
The love story between Hiccup and Astrid is so awkwardly tepid there was more heat between Hiccup and the dragon. I once again said to myself "this is another hetero love story made by faggots."

3 people died when "if it could save just one life" is so often their "rationale" when it comes to things they care about. So, if it could save just one life to have truckers who can correctly answer more that 2 out of 12 questions on an oral drivers test, and identity more than 1 out of 4 signs, maybe it's something we should look into....

Possibly. James will appeal too, and she has no right of appeal. So if the Court wants to fuck Trump, it can.
Trump may yet have an appeal as of right. As I noted before, the opinions are a mess, and he might be able to cobble together a convincing case for an appeal as of right.
There are other paths to an appeal as of right, which include constitutional or statutory grounds. While there are constitutional issues here, it looks like Trump won them and thus wouldn't appeal on those grounds.

There are plenty of videos in my youtube feed where cops end up doing something stupid and wrong (Civil Rights Lawyer is one ). Usually the cop in those videos is just an entitled a-hole who shouldn't be cop. But there are a few where if the citizen had just stopped, complied and not act in a way that a reasonable observer would say is suspicous, everything would have been fine. No consolation after you are dead that you were in the right. Maybe your family will win a lawsuit.

Except that's not really true. They have public contact, arrest, and ticket quotas that they have to meet. And a LOT of cops get into it specifically so they can harass the little people. Positions of power attract authoritarian personalities. Yes, there are good cops. But saying "the police have zero interest in harassing average citizens" is demonstrably false.

I appreciate that Trump is doing this because he's not committed to DC necessarily (though he is); he's committed to the Nation. He's making DC presentable and safe for ALL of America and, for that matter, the world. The biggest crime is not that on the streets of DC but that all previous authorities were derelict in embracing the tarnishing of what should be our national beacon.

I mean, this is like two decades too late, but if it's not woke, sounds good... Mickey & Friends were popular for decades before Disneyland even opened...
Our kids don't know the Universal stuff that much. Some Mario. Definitely Despicable Me but that doesn't look like much of a presence...? Rest of Epic looks like it's for older kids...?

Um. We always were. Looks like you're peering outside your own ass for a change.
When people said "Black Lives Matter!" we asked "How about Chicago? How about black on black crime?" which kills most young black men.
"That's a distraction!" said the people who don't know that when you want to solve a problem you go after the *biggest* source and not a trifling one.

I've said it since the beginning.
If black lives matter, they'd better prove it. They get the black community to quit killing each other, then I might take you seriously. When black lives don't matter to blacks, why should I take the time to give a f*ck?

I've got a couple of cops in the immediate family. They're good guys and FAIR. I know, for a fact, that their main concern on a pull over is safety (theirs and the person they pulled over). They both tell me one of the things they most like to see when pulling someone over is simply two hands on the steering wheel as they approach. If it is at night and the driver makes the effort to do that AND turn on the dome light...they take that into account.

It's an odd dynamic too: while they obviously compete against each other, the more parks and competitors that are there creates a bigger overall draw. It's like you usually find car dealers located together. You'd think a Toyota dealership would not want an arch-rival like Honda right next door. But having them close together creates a draw for customers that benefits both.

Personally I have gotten to the point where I assume they are assholes out to harass and bully people until they prove to me otherwise. And it sucks, because I WANT to like them, but cops go out of their way to make that impossible.
I understand the necessity of having police because there is about one percent of the population that makes it difficult for the rest of us. When they do right, I will make note of it and point it out. But I will never get out my blue Pom poms for them or stupidly say “I back the blue”. You do that, then you are as stupid and childishly naive as the “defund the police” crowd.

Yeah, our oldest are 9 & 8 (boys), doing WDW for the 5th time in October. And they are talking about doing Space Mountain for the 1st time (we did Guardians 2 years ago and they were both crying). No need for the fastest rides. And they're not into Harry Potter. At least not yet...
I don't know if anyone will be able to match the whole WDW experience. With all the different resorts and everything else. We really look at the resorts as part of the vacation (Art of Animation, All-Stars, doing Caribbean Beach this time...). I wouldn't mind Bob Iger vanishing to another dimension (with pain) along with Kaffeine Kennedy and the rest of the Marxist a-holes destroying Disney. But WDW is a lot for them to destroy. Though they certainly tried with all the gayness and trans-a-holes at Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique etc....

This is another example of judicial tyranny in service to some small pocket of stuff that won't materially affect the larger policy.
Even if this goes into effect (doubtful), ICE just houses the deportees due for removal somewhere else slightly less convenient, and the area will still see dozens, if not hundreds of deportations happening.
All while continuing to make the case to the American people as part of the overall white noise of politics that the judiciary is out of control.

FAFO: John Bolton's Home Raided in Search for Improperly Retained Classified Documents
No one, I have been repeatedly assured, is above the law, and recovering improperly-held classified documents is the most important mission of our government.
Fox News:FBI agents raided the Maryland home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton on Friday morning, Fox News Digital has learned. Fox News Digital later spotted agents at Bolton's Washington, D.C., office removing boxes and Bolton was seen in the lobby of the building. The searches are focused on potential classified documents agents believe Bolton may still possess, according to one source. Bolton, who served as President Donald Trump's national security advisor from 2018 to 2019, is not in custody or under arrest. Trump said he was not aware of the raid ahead of time and said he found out about it on the news.
Federal agents reportedly busted into Bolton's house in Bethesda, Maryland, at around 7 a.m. local time in an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, who took to X with a cryptic post minutes later. "NO ONE is above the law... @FBI agents on mission," he wrote without directly referencing the raid. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino shared the post and wrote, "Public corruption will not be tolerated." Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi also warned, "America's safety isn't negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always."

Andrew McCarthy, who I don't remember objecting to the raid on Mar-a-Lago, now warns Trump he should not let the FBI raid his political opponents' homes to search for missing documents, because that would be "playing with fire." Oh really, Andy?

@chightower38
Andy McCarthy on the mar a lago raid: "You'll hear the bracing word raid attached to the search. Don't be misled. This was not a raid, in the sense of a lawless break-in. The FBI conducted a court-authorized search."
Sean Davis
@seanmdav What a wildly different tone than the one you adopted when Mar-a-Lago was raided: "You'll hear the bracing word raid attached to the search. Don't be misled. This was not a raid, in the sense of a lawless break-in. The FBI conducted a court-authorized search." When Mar-a-Lago was raided, you breathlessly defended it, told everyone to calm down, inaccurately speculated it was all about J6 (for which you wanted him convicted and banned from office) and not classified docs, all but praised the deceptive legal chicanery of Biden's DOJ, and yet for some reason never used the phrase "Biden DOJ."

Dear lord...
Bolton was already under GJ investigation. It got squashed under Biden. Bolton admitted he had the materials in his published book.
If Bolton is untouchable because of impropriety, then no one is touchable who has any connection to the Biden administration.

I found the appeals court decision in the Trump case (452564/2022). It's a 323-page rat's nest of curdled dogshit. At least two of the judges are political hacks. Two are wimps. One (Friedman) sees this witch hunt for what it is.
There were so many issues, determinations, and alternative theories involved that it's hard for me -- even as a lawyer -- to make sense of it all. And no, I didn't spend hours studying 300+ pages of decisions.
There was no majority decision. That is extremely rare. The first opinion, by Moulton and Renwick, refused to vacate the liability judgment, but agreed the $500M penalty was unconstitutional.
The second opinion, by Higgitt and Rosado, did not think James made out a case for fraud, and a new trial was warranted. However, they "with great reluctance ... join[ed] the decretal modifying the judgment to the extent of vacating the disgorgement and sanctions awards." Wtf???????
The third opinion, by Friedman, argued for dismissing the case outright in Trump’s favor. He clearly got it right.

Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn’t have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule.
I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.

I've seen nothing of them pulling back on Iraq War hate. Some strange new respect for W for being brave enough to be anti-Trump, but that's it.
Iraq is just way too ingrained into several generations of Democrats to be turned into anything but evil through and through.

Andy McCarthy on the mar a lago raid:
"You'll hear the bracing word raid attached to the search. Don't be misled. This was not a raid, in the sense of a lawless break-in. The FBI conducted a court-authorized search."
I remember reading the description of items the FEEB stooges were looking for at Mar-a-Largo. It was essentially a general search warrant because (I forget the exact wording) but it was a search for "all documents produced during the [1st] Trump Administration." Items collected included the Super-Seekret dinner menus and photographs. It was a predicate search to discredit the entirety of Donald Trump's Presidency: he was not worthy (in their eyes) of the respect due to the office of POTUS. Him getting shipped to prison for *gasp* Espionage was just a bonus.
Well, Bolton and the rest of these scumbags are the "Find Out" phase of "Fvkc Around" process. I handle classified stuff all the time and it would never occur to me to take documents home - because I know I'd go to jail.

The "fraud" liability discussed above -- and the linchpin of the entire smelly case -- was not made by any jury or finder of fact. It was made solely by Engoron on a motion for summary judgment.
A finding of fraud on summary judgment is never done, except in cases of blatant, egregious fraud where nobody can disagree there was fraud. That clearly wasn't the case here.
Fraud cases are hard to win even in front of a jury. The standard of proof is high, and even fairly obvious fraud can often be explained away enough to give a jury pause. But to do it on summary judgment in this case? Only the most blatant partisan corrupt cocksucker could do that.

I'm not sure what the federal-law hook would be. Trump won unanimously on the 8th amendment "cruel and unusual punishment" argument, so there's nothing left of that for him to appeal. The fraud liability finding is just a matter of NY law. I don't see where there would be federal issues there.

I think it's highly unlikely that was a suicide. More like a catastrophic accident or negligence. It seems the sole reason it was ruled a suicide was a break-up the day before. So what? No suicide note, no indication at all that she was so depressed she wanted to kill herself.
I suspect the suicide finding was made to avoid an inquiry into how a very experienced diver could end up dead like this.

I work in a SCIF… I know. Exxageration for effect. The fact remains: over-classification is EVERYWHERE. I see portion markings as secret all the time where the content is manifestly unclassified… but the classification marking remains. Everyone is a “derivative classifier” as you probably know. Thousands of individual judgments every day… often incorrect. And I’ll eat my hat if Bolton had anything truly devastating to the nations security at his house. I don’t buy it

>>The first big clash with Trump occurred over allegedly classified information Bolton used in his 2020 memoir. That led to an extended legal battle and a criminal investigation by the Trump I Justice Department. Bolton claimed at the time, with compelling evidence, that he was being singled out and retaliated against by the Trump White House for his Trump criticism.
>>After failing to stop the book’s publication ahead of the 2020 election, the Trump I DOJ opened a grand jury investigation into whether Bolton unlawfully disclosed classified information in the book. It subpoenaed Bolton’s publisher and agency, the NYT reported then. The following summer, under President Biden, the investigation of Bolton was closed and the government dropped its lawsuit seeking to recoup profits from the book, the NYT reported contemporaneously.

Catholic doctrine does not prohibit in any way civil divorce. What it does not allow is remarriage... without annulment.
Generally, people are able to get an annulment when they want, even if they have children together.
If Kelly Ann went to a priest and said "My husband is a gay homosexual who bangs men every chance he gets," she'd be able to get an annulment.

A 40-year-old man was rescued from a tube slide at Northeast Elementary School in Vernon, Connecticut, on Saturday (August 16). The Town of Vernon Fire Department, along with Vernon EMS and Vernon Police Department, responded to the incident after receiving a call around 4:30 p.m. The man was found wedged headfirst in the middle of the slide, experiencing extreme discomfort due to the hot weather.
Emergency personnel provided the man with oxygen and ventilation to help alleviate his discomfort. According to a Facebook post by the Vernon Fire Department, additional resources, including Rescue 141 and Tower 541, were called to assist in the rescue. The team used an aerial ladder to stabilize the slide and cut it open to free the man.

Andrew McCarthy's claim to fame is the layup conviction of the Blind Sheik for the attempted bombing of the WTC.
Where he allowed his attorney to pass messages to and from terrorist cohorts.
Almost certainly leading to most of them evading justice.
I now think he knew she was doing that, that he personally shut down the investigation into her, and he's desperate to stay in the good grace of the Uniparty and Deep State to keep that secret.

A "5" is an average woman -- not ugly, not especially attractive, but average. The majority of women are average (duh). A 5 is a woman who guys might not immediately notice, but they are attractive enough that men will like them. They aren't undesirable.
A 6 is above average. We're getting into women who guys will start to notice.
A 7 is well above average and an 8 is a babe. An 8 is rare.

Because Trump is prosecuting people for lying about their rental properties as primary residences in order to get better interest rates.

If anyone in Congress did that they should be stripped of position unless the rental property is in the district or state they are sitting in.

The "fraud" liability was not made by any jury or finder of fact. It was made solely by Engoron on a motion for summary judgment. And yes, he is a sucker of cock, and this was HIGHLY irregular and should have caused the case to be tossed automatically on appeal. I've honestly never seen anything like it - the "trial" was solely about what penalty should be imposed, because of course the accused is guilty. I think all five judges knew the case was a crock. So, they tossed the fines out unanimously, but some want to keep the lie of "Trump is a felon" alive for one more day.
In the end, no way it stands. It was an egregiously absurd trial and judgement. There are times when I think the judge got it wrong, and times when I think that Judge shoudl be disbarred.

Brooks Warden Epilogue – Rejected by the Supreme Court, but Taking the Stage at the Grand Ole Opry
There is a joyful epilogue to a story I’ve been covering about a young man named Brooks Warden. Specifically, the story has been about efforts to get the Supreme Court to clarify that “reverse discrimination” in public schools is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Brooks Warden’s case didn’t get heard by the Supreme Court, but its filing got their attention. And with the coverage of Brooks’ case at The Federalist, Ace of Spades HQ, the Dr. Phil Show, and other outlets, it has received extensive national attention.
Brooks’ school days are well behind him now, and he’s moved on to his chosen career as a mechanic. He also sings. This past weekend he sang on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry with his father Monte Warden. Joining them were Brooks’ mother Brandi Warden and Federalist journalist Mollie Hemingway.
Among the abuses claimed by Brooks were a teacher calling him a racial slur; the Principal mocking Brooks and accusing him of listening to Dixie while wearing a headset; the Student Council President circulating a picture of Brooks as a Klansman; another student promising to kill Brooks and all Trump supporters; and a student beating Brooks up in a classroom while the teacher watched. That student is later alleged to have boasted about assaulting Brooks because of his race. As Brooks’ father documented, the Austin Independent School District never disputed or refuted any of this, they just chose to ignore the Wardens’ pleas to make it stop.In July I reported on the disappointing news that the Supreme Court had denied certiorari, that is, it declined to hear the case.
When [Monte and Brandi] notified me earlier this week that SCOTUS had denied certiorari, they were obviously disappointed, but their disappointment was also mixed with an equal and offsetting pronouncement of patriotism and faith. They stressed that ultimately all of this is in the hands of a higher power, and they also know that Brooks’ ordeal, and the legal path they pursued, will help chip away at the ugly 21st century version of state-sanctioned racism.
Monte received an invitation to play at the Opry on August 16, the 48th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, so two of his three songs were Elvis numbers, including this rockin’ version of “That’s All Right Mama.”
Incredible night with @MonteWarden1 at the Grand Ole @opry paying tribute to Elvis tonight. That’s me singing backup!!! https://t.co/SKZfSyTvm9

The other song was a retro-rocking, jazzy gospel song called “Steadfast Love” that will get your feet moving and your soul pointed in the right direction.
One more song from last night’s Opry, with Monte Warden being backed up by Brandi Warden, Mollie Hemingway, and Brooks Warden on “Steadfast Love”@MonteWarden1 @MZHemingway @deTokeville1 @seanmdav @Heminator pic.twitter.com/HMIqrcjxIe

I vote for c-130 aircraft. Incredibly versatile and cost effective to operate with the added benefit of LAPES-ing federal law breakers out the back without landing in their country. Just drop altitude to 50', slow to landing speed, and push that ass out the back. They can bribe the crew for a water landing if they want.

There's an entire fleet of aircraft devoted to the various government entities Kristi. You don't need your own "fleet" of aircraft. Use what's already at your disposal.
If need aircraft to move illegals in large numbers call FedEx or UPS. You'd probably get "bulk rates."

Fun fact: having a security clearance does not grant authority to possess classified material. It just means that you've been determined to be able to be authorized to view certain levels of classified material.

It actually goes back to the Trump DOJ trying to stop the publication of a book Bolton wrote in 2020. The claim then was the book was full of classified information but it was published anyway. The Biden DOJ dropped the investigation.

But he won't cite her criminal investigation--specifically avoiding the "for cause" requirement of the Fed Act.
She will stupidly sue over it, demanding he state the cause.
LOL, squarely putting Humphrey's Executor up for formally being overturned even for the Fed.
That is, SCOTUS will say, Prez doesn't have to state the cause and, if there's any rational basis for the firing, even if not stated, we'll uphold it.

That this is an extension of an existing GJ investigation that Biden's admin squashed is why this is moving first.
It may also be part of a prosecutorial effort to get Bolton to reveal what he knows on the other seditious conspiracy investigation.

If the seditious conspiracy extends to journalists, as has been inferred previously, it can include talking heads who said knowingly false things in advancement of the conspiracy.
Bolton definitely did that on TV. He could be part of the seditious conspiracy investigation. A very small, largely inconsequential part except for what he may know about who told him what to say.

The three nuns in the bell jar . . . that's where the terror comes from, I guess. There's nobody else on the street to display any terror.
"Here, in a realistic style, he portrays three women in nuns’ habits huddling inside a bell jar; they gaze up at a configuration of pelvic bones suspended on the side of a building on a desolate street. First exhibited in a group show at the Downtown Gallery the year that it was painted, the canvas was then-titled Pelvic Beatitudes, Brooklyn, calling attention to the nuns’ cowering reaction to the pelvis bones, which resemble a crucifix or holy relics."
I have to admit I didn't notice the pelvic bones.

Terror in Brooklyn, Louis Guglielmi’s best-known work, is a highly enigmatic and personal response to social conditions. Guglielmi was associated with a group of American artists who used the language of European Surrealism to evoke the social and political climate of the Great Depression and the war years that followed. Here, in a realistic style, he portrays three women in nuns’ habits huddling inside a bell jar; they gaze up at a configuration of pelvic bones suspended on the side of a building on a desolate street. First exhibited in a group show at the Downtown Gallery the year that it was painted, the canvas was then-titled Pelvic Beatitudes, Brooklyn, calling attention to the nuns’ cowering reaction to the pelvis bones, which resemble a crucifix or holy relics. Asked to explain the composition, Guglielmi said that it contained “associative ideas and images determined by mood caused of irrational events in the objective world—murder in the streets, war—subjective reality.” Instead of explicitly depicting the war into which he would soon be conscripted, Guglielmi envisioned a mysterious scene that invoked the period’s anxious, ominous atmosphere.

So, basically a test-tube baby. Just not a real womb.
How is that any worse than the fertility practices we already have?
Posted by: Bulg at August 22, 2025 09:27 AM (77rzZ)
Currently, test-tube babies require an actual woman to decide that she wants to carry a baby to term. Artificial wombs would remove that requirement.
Governments could seize leftover embryos and incubate them. They could harvest eggs from women who're incapacitated, or imprisoned, to fertilize and incubate. Children with no family, raised in a creche, with no family ties to anyone.
And then they could rule that these are not people, it'd be simple to do... the public would fall in line pretty quickly. After all, they're not MY family, they wouldn't even exist if the government hadn't made them.
There're about 20-30 thousand science fiction stories which examine the various ways this is likely to go badly.

I will, over time. My play money is just so much.
But, my larger point is that treating Kamala as less possible than Buttigieg is silly. Every poll shows her near the top. She's got universal name recognition. The primary calendar putting SC first prioritizes the preferences of the black electorate, and she's always easily the most preferred candidate for blacks in these polls.
The betting markets are stupid, is what I'm saying.

I've tried to tell you that whether you like it or not the fact that she might not run is priced in. Everyone and their grandma knows Booty is running. No one really knows if Kamala will get the okay. She just lost - badly - and legitimately. If/when she announces, the price will likely reflect the polling odds you are talking about.

Louis Guglielmi, 1906–1956
Louis Guglielmi described Terror in Brooklyn, one of his best-known canvases, as “a premonition of war and tragedy.” The painting reflects the artist’s highly personal response to World War II and its impact on the American psyche. Guglielmi, who was born in Egypt to Italian parents and immigrated to the United States as a child, was one of a group of American painters who became known as the Social Surrealists. Along with artists such as Peter Blume and Walter Quirt, Guglielmi utilized the imagery and techniques of European Surrealism to address social and political themes during the 1930s and 1940s.

Reportedly, Lou served with the Army Corps of Engineers for two years & didn't paint during that time. Odd, but maybe not so -

Anyway, imho the artist seems to be lacking originality and mimicking the art of others. Don't care of this particular piece and wouldn't hang but an interesting lesson & decent opening to the weekend.

Out of the past 20 polls, she's number 1 (when she's included) in almost all of them.
She's #2 in a few more.
If you want state polling, she's #2 in all of them. Also, state polling is...weird at best when there's a calendar over weeks.

The problem with looking at state polls, especially this far out, is that they don't include the effects of the primary calendar.
When a candidate wins SC, other candidates drop out, it affects things.
State polls this far out aren't that interesting. Decisions aren't made because of OH primary polls. They're made on national polling, if anything.
My point is that Kamala is obviously one of, if not the, frontrunner based on national polling that includes her. And frontrunners almost always run. She didn't turn down the CA governor's race because she's not going to run for president.

The Morning Report — 8/22/25
Warren: Republicans Are Determined to ‘Break Laws’ to Hang on to PowerAnd now on to the rest of the stories making news this morning. And first up is one of the causes of the outburst from the lying, venal beast Fauxcahontas Warren And that is President Trump's calling up of the National Guard to help remove Democrat-created and coddled criminal scum from the streets of the nation's Capital.
For years, Washington, D.C.’s so-called leaders resigned themselves to the idea that crime was inevitable. Then came President Donald Trump, who saw a problem and took the novel approach of actually doing something about it — sending in the National Guard to restore order in the capital. The result? For the first time in ages, D.C. has gone seven straight days without a single homicide. Of course that simple truth runs counter to everything the left has preached for years. They’ve championed defunding the police, smeared law enforcement as systemically racist, and sneered at Trump’s efforts to make Washington not just safe, but livable again. In fact, they’ve told us for days now that Trump’s efforts actually make D.C. unsafe. The Center for American Progress (CAP) wrote that “these deployments … fail to address the district’s real public safety priorities.” CAP argued that the deployment of the National Guard “will threaten public safety in the nation’s capital.” D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb said the deployment “undermines public safety” while one D.C. resident, Mara Lasko, told CNN that she doesn’t think the National Guard makes people feel safer.The only thing the deployment, or more accurately the rousing success of the deployment undermines are the memes, myths and lies of the Democrat Left, not just about crime but ultimately about their entire messaging that they are the champions of minorities, the average citizen and of freedom, justice liberty, the American way and of course "our precious democracy!" As with so many issues since Donald Trump took office last January that have become raging successes, from the economy to foreign policy, more and more Americans are at long last recognizing those for what they are but perhaps recognizing the complete criminal failure over the course of years and even decades that the Left and its epicenter in the Democrat Party have perpetrated on them and then entire nation since forever. That of course is an existential threat on their hold on power, in the short term and quite possibly (Please God!) the long term. The Democrats gain and maintain power by sowing division, even if it means standing back and even cheering on and for sure fomenting the destruction caused by race riots and allowing crime to fester, in the inner cities, so they can blame supposed institutional racism and white supremacy and the Republican party, conservatism, free market capitalism and western values in general: all diametrically opposed to their evil goals of absolute power and control.
“Representative Madeleine Dean (D-PA) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight” that former President Donald Trump will deploy National Guard in multiple cities to declare an emergency and suspend elections. . . This is not a president who’s serious about crime. He’s serious about a show. And my fear is what you just suggested that he will do this in city after city. I had a town hall last night at a senior retirement community, a terrific group of more than 100 seniors. and this was one of the questions they asked. is it possible that he is going to do this in city after city in order to then say, you know what, the country is too dangerous, I’m in power here and we don’t have to have elections.”This filthy slag and her evil coven of tyrants in the Democrat Party should've been abolished 160 freaking years ago! If Trump has the stones to re-emancipate black America, the words Free at Last Free at Last thank God Almighty will never be sung with more emotion, meaning and truth than ever. if the Democrat party and all its offshoots are abolished and ripped out root and branch from our body politic. And preventing another lost generation of blacks from being brainwashed by the toxic idiocy of such execrable Step in it and Kvetch about-its like Joy Reid would be a blessing. Meanwhile, it certainly looks as if Israel is finally about to gerrymander the shit out of Gaza as it should have done from the very beginning of the Hamas/Islamic pogrom of 10/7.
On the immigration front, here are a couple of orgasmatronic stories.
The U.S. Immigrant Population Has Declined for the First Time in DECADES. . . . . . The United States’ immigrant population dropped from 53.3 million in January 2025 to 51.9 million by June, marking the first significant decline since the 1960s. This data comes from the Pew Research Center, which noted that the reduction is reflected in the labor force, where over 750,000 workers were lost since January. . . Despite the overall decline in immigrants, the United States remains home to more foreigners than any other nation—although countries like Canada and the United Arabe Emirates (UAE) have higher proportions of migrants in their populations. Pew reported that the share of immigrants in the U.S. population fell slightly from 15.8 percent in January to 15.4 percent in June.
And with that, there's this!
Trump admin to review all 55 million US legal immigrants to see if they should be deported . . . The Trump administration will begin reviewing all 55 million US visa holders to see if any have committed deportable offenses. Any immigrants holding US visas found with “indicators of overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization” will have their permits to live in the US revoked and be deported, the State Department announced Thursday. State Department representatives told the Associated Press all US visa holders are subject to “continuous vetting” intended to identify deportable offenses.On top of that, very single illegal alien foreign invader, regardless of criminal record (their mere presence on our soil without permission is a deportable offense) needs to be ejected ASAP. And after that, we must seal our borders and declare a complete moratorium on all immigration for at least 25 years until we as a nation and society can absorb and assimilate all those we as the citizens of the USA decide to let stay here on our terms providing they indeed assimilate. If that can be achieved and verified to whatever degree possible. Hell, we have an entire political party and its constituents whose numbers match all the illegals in our country that are every bit an alien and verifiably dangerous enemy alien entity that has sought to destroy this country and its underpinnings for decades. "ALIAS-DEMOCRAT PARTY, and the anti-American Left. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

I didn't read the edict but im sure she spent dozens of pages explaining her jurisdiction, the arguments against why she cannot order such rulings and why those orders are inapplicable to this circumstance. It's to laugh.
You can bet her order is nothing more than another speed bump. For starters she bans any new inmates...which means the ones flowing into there back up like sewage into the system. And until her ruling is stayed there's going to be more killers spending more time in our jails.

He knew the time he was seeing on the clock's face was dependant on the light travelling from it to his eye. If the bus were to accelerate to the speed of light would the clock's hands never move?

RFK Jr.’s former running mate Nicole Shanahan is warning that China is developing a robotic womb, while the FDA is already reviewing similar technology for premature babies.
She says governments are ignoring the fertility crisis and focusing on artificial wombs instead.
Shanahan warns this could lead to a future where babies are manufactured by machines rather than conceived by women

Federal agents went to Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., from 7 a.m. in an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, a Trump administration official told The Post.
“NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission,” he said in a cryptic post to X shortly after the raid began.
The probe — which is said to involve classified documents — was first launched years ago, but the Biden administration shut it down “for political reasons,” according to a senior US official.

The unemployed 60-year-old will kick off a 15-city tour on Sept. 24, a day after releasing her memoir “107 Days,” which offers a “behind-the-scenes” look at what the Democrat calls “the shortest presidential campaign in modern history,” according to a post on X.

That is where the slippery slope begins. John Bolton today, Barack Obama tomorrow.
It's an act of pure retribution being undertaken for his criticism of Trump. the point isn't criminal prosecution but revenge, harassment and intimidation, and to warn others they'd better not say bad things about Dear Leader or they'll get the same treatment.
Amazing how the world has changed. During Bush2, we lambasted Bolton. He was a liar. A warmongerer. Dangerous. All true. Now he's seen practically as a liberal now in today’s political landscape. Just goes to show just how far drumpf has pushed the party right.
And the media just goes right on acting like it’s the same old gop it always has been.
Since when does pedo Trump care about classified documents? This is just another distraction from his Epstein failures.

Reuters:
The appeals court was splintered.
Two judges found Trump was properly held liable, and James “vindicated a public interest” by pursuing her fraud case, but the penalty was an excessive fine that violated the U.S. Constitution.
Two other judges also found James had authority to sue, but a new trial was necessary because the trial judge should not have held Trump liable for fraud at the outset.
The fifth judge said the case against Trump should have been dismissed.

I have a Ridge wallet. The inner sleeves rubbed through the powder coat and stained my cards, so I submitted a warranty claim. They sent me new inserts in replacement and the torx driver to remove the screws.
The shipment originated from McAllen, TX. Bound for the DFW area, it sauntered its way through Texas and made it's way to Kansas, where it arrived in a sorting facility, only to be sent to another sorting facility in Kansas. From there, it meandered its way back to Texas to arrive in a sorting facility in Coppell, TX. After that, it went to Ft. Worth, TX only to be sent back to Coppell. It finally found it's way to my local post office to be sent out for delivery.

The cruise ships (and restaurants and any food or booze service) have this down to a science. But because wasted food is lost profit, they always err on the side of less. So that’s why there are occasional shortages, but they are rare.

The thing is, though, these are supposed to be predictive.

Kamala running is not unlikely. It's extremely likely.

You need enough women to have a supply of eggs. Those are harvested and mixed in a test tube with the desired sperm for the class of drones you're creating. Allow a few cell divisions and implant in the artificial womb largely as you would in a real one.
Just because you can't do that today doesn't mean you won't be able to do that tomorrow. Shanahan's concerns do not appear to me to be ill-founded.

I can't help but wonder if the administration's going after some really low hanging fruit in the hopes it will lead to bigger targets. Those that the administration has a pretty good chance of netting on something that'll stick.
But that is predicated on turning some people who'll back up the administration's claims down the road. It's really more political gamesmanship than anything else.

Fortunately only 45 people had been fired by that point. It could have been a lot worse, and soon will be.

The 5Gb port is a nice touch. It can handle that transfer rate without any trouble at all. Internally it can handle about 900MBps, close to the limit of 10Gb Ethernet. Which it doesn't have.
About $360 at the moment.
- Google says its AI systems barely sip water when answering questions, while "experts" say they are true water guzzlers. (The Verge) (archive site)
The truth as always is somewhere off to one side in I don't care territory.
- We already got a Commodore 64 remake, and now it seems the company - or a company anyway - will be releasing a clone of the rather more capable Amiga 1200. (Tom's Hardware)
With a Motorola 68020 CPU and an effectively 64-bit chipset, the A1200 offered about four times the performance of the original Amiga.

Mascots have been part of advertising from the beginning, or at least since the 1920s. Speedy Alka-Seltzer, Tony the Tiger, the Esso/Exxon Tiger in Your Tank, and hundreds more. I recall an ad for a product some years ago which used the concept of "The Rest Home for Retired Advertising Mascots," featuring Tony and many others. A shame if business is going to give up on them.

– Remodeled 70+ stores into sterile showroom knockoffs
– Pledged $700 million to erase every trace of what made it feel… pic.twitter.com/iueJnO861v
These are some good examples of what Cracker Barrel did to itself
What say you, Hordelings? Good move, bad move, or don't care?
Popping pimples in the ‘Triangle of Death, a triangular area of your face between the bridge of the nose and the corners of your mouth, can cause serious medical complications and even death. Lish Marie, a young mother of three, recently went viral on TikTok after posting a video about how popping a pimple below her face caused extreme inflammation and facial paralysis that required medical attention. Lish tried to pop a pimple just below her left nostril using her nails, but within hours, she knew something was wrong. The left side of her face became so swollen that when she tried to smile, it hurt, and only the other corner of her mouth raised into a grin. After about four hours, she went to the emergency room, where doctors immediately put her on four medications – including antibiotics and steroids – to treat the infections that had allegedly entered the bloodstream through the pimple. *** Basically, when you pop a pimple in the Triangle of Death, you create an open wound through which dangerous bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause an infection that can reach your brain. Cases as the ones mentioned above are rare, otherwise, millions of teenagers would wind up in the hospital every year, but doctors warn that, however small, the risks need to be considered.TikTok video at the link.

GO WOKE, GO BROKE: Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino's decision to 'decolonize' the company starting by removing the old-fashioned country gentleman meant to evoke nostalgia and Americana from the logo is hammering the stock wiping out $250 million in value. Since Felss became CEO the stock is down 34% erasing $587 million in value.

Cracker Barrel was just OK. Good, not great. Had a nice vibe to it. Had. I guess that's gone now. Hopefully they'll still allow free overnight camper / RV parking in their lots. Great little tip I learned before heading to Texas last year. Most locations allow you to stay overnight for free. Courtesy is to buy dinner and/or breakfast there.

So here's a question....I'm sure like many of you I've seen and relished the video of the two self-important, entitled 'ladies', one of whom was (!) 'an A...door slam)' getting a free ride in a police car.
I have a question. What did they do? I know they didn't leave the restaurant when axed, but what started the whole mess? Why were they asked to leave? Too loud/profane? Disturbing the other diners? Hogging the salad bar?
What I find particularly grating is the way the A. door slam kept pointing with her finger to emphasize how important she was, like a scold.

Waffle House is a reliable quick and cheap breakfast place if you want to pound on the calories. I enjoy it but almost never go. It’s a travel joint and I mostly snack on weird regional foods from gas stations when I travel.
I’ve eaten at an Olive Garden once. It’s… pasta. Okay pasta.
Sadly never been to a Red Lobster. Everyone says their biscuits are amazing, and I like biscuits.

She used all true sentences, yet completely changed the conclusion.
After talking about the "new decor", she said the number #1 question she gets is, "When can you come do our renovation?".
None of franchisees said it was BECAUSE of the new decor. I bet almost every restaurant would love corporate to do a renovation on their dime, if it didn't too radically change the ambiance. Old, run down restaurants of any stripe always look cleaner and fresher with new paint at a minimum.

Olive garden on the other hand, I think I felt my grandmother rolling in her grave just from me walking through the door.

I thought Po' Folks was long gone. It was my grandparents' favorite back in the day. We used to go there all the time.
The foodies here will shame me, but I sorta miss the cheap-ass steak houses that used to be everywhere. You could get a small steak, baked potato or fries, and salad bar for like 6 bucks. Quincy's, Ryan's, Sizzler, Ponderosa, etc. Some still exist (Golden Corral) but are nothing like what they were.
And yeah, I have been known to eat at the Cracker Barrel. Sometimes disappointing but usually decent comfort food. Tasty biscuits. I thought the Coca-cola cake was pretty damn good.

Well, I hate fries that are cooked so crisp they snap like twigs. I like fries that are chipped on-site from fresh potatoes, and cooked golden on the outside, with a crumbly baked-potato texture inside. Of the chains, Five Guys has the best fries by my standards.
Good breaded potato wedges may edge out Five Guys fries, though.

Christmas Eve for the Doof family. After evening church, we'd hit the local Waffle House, which was 5 minutes from our house. The lovely late Mrs. Doof would give the waitress a very generous tip. Often times the tip was more than the check amount. Her way of showing extra appreciation for someone who had to work on Christmas Eve. A wonderful woman she was.

The rules have been seriously relaxed now, but the OLCC guarenteed that cheapest best food in Oregon was served in bars, rather than restaurants.
To have a hard liquor license, a certain, significant percentage of your income had to come from hot food, from a separate kitchen which was required to be in operation for, again, a significant portion of operating hours.
The intent was obvious- to minimize bars serving whisky etc.
But, creative accounting to the rescue. The loophole was income, not profits. So, put a sirloin steak with a baker and salad on the menu at $15. Then put up a special on the chalkboard behind the bar "Sirloin special- $5." Of course the special only went away about 2 days a month. Cost of special- about 5 bucks. They break even, or even lose a little on the food, but they can sell a ton of high margin liquor while keeping their license.
Portland strip clubs were great for this. A steak dinner that cost $25 anywhere else was $5 at The Acropolis. DAMHIK

One of them said to the kid at one point - "at least you're going in when all the DEI and gender crap is being eliminated". Kid said "yep". I asked him - "tell me, in your age group, your buddies, does everyone think all of this stuff is ridiculous?". "Yep."

Whenever they say LCS, I say "oh, I'm sorry" - and without exception, they have laughed, rolled their eyes, and said "yeah". Today I softened the blow by noting that unlike the amphibious fleet, LCSs had not been burning at regular intervals.
But when their medical gal called me over to ask about local first-responder situation, I noticed that about 20% of the group was clearly unfit, overweight. This does not make me happy. Don't follow every development, but pretty sure Hegseth was picked above all to fix all the accumulated personnel issues in uniform. Hope that PT requirements up to/including general officers get re-introduced and strictly enforced.

The reason why McDonald's became so big starting in the late '50s. When people traveled back then, the food 'on the road' was spotty, at best. McDonald's changed all that. No matter what part of the country you were from and where in it you now were, when you saw The Golden Arches, you knew what you were getting.

I've only eaten there for the first time about 4 years ago. The kids like it. Before I cut down on carbs, I liked it because I could pig out on pasta. I had no preconception of it being authentic Italian food, I just figured it was a good deal because you could stuff yourself with never-ending breadsticks and soup. And pasta/sauce with meat and melted cheese is comfort food to me.

Beef tallow is pretty damned good (despite being "trendy" at the moment) but the absolute best french fry medium is bacon grease.
OMG that's good.
When the late Mrs. Borgia and I got a craving to harden our arteries, we'd put some corn oil in the deep fryer to get things started, then deep fry a package of bacon.
Then came the chicken, fries and/or tots.
OMG that was good.

$50. Fifty US dollars. For breakfast (no steak and eggs, no "dessert" - just breakfast plates and coffee). Stunning. Some of that may well be the Khmer Rouge idiocy degrading CA, making everything needlessly expensive. But yowzah.

We used to go there a lot. It was an upgrade from IHOP but a downgrade from the Pancake House (in Dallas and Austin). When I made the morning trek from Austin to Dallas would stop at the one in Temple.
Then we discovered First Watch and said "Good Bye" to the HFCS pancake syrup and the way too salty ham.
There are some in ETX, but never has been worth the drive. We grew out of it.
But still enjoy the memories. The Bud Lighting of Crackhead Barrel is just a reminder you can never really go back home.
I'm 100% sure I'll never darken the doorway again of the place, its just another clone of Denny's, Waffle House and IHOP now.

I've never been to a Cracker Barrel restaurant, but I did go to a Bob Evans in Powell, OH. The modernized CB looks very much like the BE restaurant. If I didn't know the chain any better (see above: I don't), I'd probably stop inside one and try it out. The food at Bob Evans was great, so I'd expect at least as much from The Cracker. That's where it lives or dies in my book. The store itself is much bigger and more extensive than the Bob Evans' so I'd probably have The Wife check that out.

Posted by: joemarine
I think the announcement of the timing of Trump's announcement might get Powell to ponder the impermanence of things.
Even if Trump is planning to talk about the border wall or Ukraine or whatever else.

When I see the Cracker Barrel logo change and the woman that goes along with it, I think of Bud Light and how these big companies keep bringing in people who don't actually like the company or its products. I don't know if they don't have other options (or are sourpuss Yale females all that are on tap for these C-suite positions?), but my understanding is that part of Philip Morris' renaissance started with really bringing in people who liked their products at the time, e.g., cigarettes and junk food. I didn't go to Cracker Barrel to eat like an upwardly-mobile yuppie Yale undergrad- I went for decent food where my whole family could get something they liked. If I wanted a side of condescension there are plenty of expensive restaurants with mediocre food that I could go visit.

Well, if you do some digging on her you will find a National Post article where she is featured as a self-proclaimed "non-binary" 10 year old arguing for schools keeping gender issues from parents.

That Cracker Barrel CEO is a stereotypical AWFL. Just put her picture in the dictionary for AWFL.
Cracker Barrel was in the rotation of "Sunday dinner" places here for many years, going back to my teens. They started small in the early 70s, and through the 80s were mostly a SE and mid-West operation. In the mid-90s they started expanding nation wide.
There's one in Simpsonville here, and we've been going there regularly. The food was good, I thought. Not spectacular, but good.
This one here so went down a little after Covid and then Biden-flation. It recovered a bit, food wise, but still isn't up to where it was.

Cracker Barrel, pre Covid, used to have a damned good broiled catfish item. Some other good fish as well. After Covid and inflation they dropped a lot of that. I think they brought the catfish back, but I'm not sure.
I think they tried to keep from raising their prices too much during Biden-flation, and quality suffered. Another regular restaurant around here, a local favorite around here, a local concern did just the opposite. They maintained quality, but raised prices. They're still doing fairly well.

They Hollywooded the f--k out of the ending. In the original (Japanese) book, Cage has to kill not just the big bad alien, but also kill Rita to end the time loops. And Rita baits him into doing it.

Did have one unalloyed win today, though. Took the blades off the Dixon mower to sharpen them, and, as expected, they were loose on the spindles. Sharpened and balanced, and then welded washers, on center, to their bottom faces, and put them back on the spindles with a plastic washer between the blade and the hub face. No more slippage. Mower runs 100% quieter, and is cutting way better. Mowed the ditches, and they look awesome.

You know, Waffle House is not always a good thing (kinda depends on who's there), but I went to one south of Denver with my son the other day and had a pecan waffle,.scrambled eggs, bacon, and coffee...the food was good, the cook had part of it going before the order was cpmpletely written, and we were fed and back on the road really fast.

Carrie Nation died in 1911.
Prohibition started in 1920.
Not the fault of the men of the 1920s.
The U.S. Senate proposed the Eighteenth Amendment on December 18, 1917, while a lot of men were off in Europe, fighting a war.

The stupid bint judge is using some environmental law to shut down Alligator Alacatraz. I think POTUS has powers to suspend that for federal purposes for national security reasons. So maybe Trump could just short-circuit this whole line of attack with that.

Back in the 90's Jonathan Turley, representing some former defense workers at the vaunted Area 51 in a lawsuit, forced Bubba to do just that. He had to a) acknowledge that Area 51 existed, and then b) exempt it from environmental laws.
It was a clever trick to make the US govt admit. You can't claim something is exempt if you also claim it doesn't exist.

I would like to see Blessed Miriam Theresa Demjanovich cananozed ( ( She was a nun in her 20's when she died and from NJ) . I enjoyed reading about her life and all these young people who loved the Lord. Not being RC I have no say in it. I just have an interest . So maybe several posters her ( one regular, one drive by" could put to bed the idea that I have disrespect for either the Mass or the RCC? I may not agree on all theological points of the RCC, but have read a number of RC mystics and theologians and I believe we should support each other as brothers
And sisters in Christ. And as fa as bed, I need to go there as well. I am not a big fan of waking up this early in the morning since I'm on the East Coast
Oh yes, if you could pray for my son, I would appreciate it . He needs a full time job and he and I need patience with each other.. Thanks

Wanting, the saddest kind of pain
Waiting for the day when I will crawl away
Nothing is what I feel
Waiting for the drugs to make it real
Waiting for the day when I will crawl away
Waiting to be disciplined
Aching for your nails across my skin
Waiting for the day when I will crawl
Waiting for the day when I will crawl away

A photography trick. I mean, a photography illusion. Tricks are what whores do for money. And some more photography whores. Another photography whore. (I think the cat is on a telephone wire in foreground.) Give me a squad of 10,000 of these dogs and we'll never see flooding again. I've linked a video like this before -- but not this specific one. When they say "hippos are surprisingly fast in the water," they're not lying. Farmer Fran makes her rounds. Cats don't get enough credit. Probably because they're evil agents of chaos. She would like you to admire her beaver. Kangaroo fatigue is real. This parrot is only a few IQ points slower than Dana Bash. Manta ray shows off. "They're demonstrating classic swarming behavior." "Yeah, they're swarming this way." Big Tish James on an Indian holiday.
A beluga, which I'm now calling the Golden Retriever of the Sea, clowns around with some kids. I guess dinner was a hit. Oh what a cute little kitty-cat. Brave baby elephant isn't afraid to step up to a chicken. Golden retrievers being silly. Koala and cub. Some impressive agricultural technology.
This kid is the King of Cornhole. What a journey.

So If one were to know our actual last name, it would be safe to assume that we come from pure German lineage.
Bugt as it turns out, at the time in the 17th century that our forefather came to America, the small town that he came from was at the time inside the borders of Switzerland. And has gone back and forth several times from Swiss to German, and back again.
So...despite believing that we were German, we are actually of Swiss stock.

Hulk Hogan may have died due to a devastating medical mistake that cost him his life, according to an explosive new report from TMZ.
Law enforcement sources familiar with the Clearwater Police Department’s report on the 911 response told the outlet that an occupational therapist was present at Hogan’s Florida home when he stopped breathing. The therapist allegedly told police the 71-year-old legend was a victim of medical malpractice.

>>It's ok, I love tex mex.
Cilantro forms on prong of the Latin quinine mirapau.
It's present in mexican, Tex-mex, island and Latin America cuisine.
It's pretty much what gives Spanish food the Spanish flavor.

I feel complete sympathy, but you, like myself, bought into the Covenants (or Declarations) when you bought the property. We're pretty much stuck. I have butted heads with the Board of Commissioners more often than you can imagine.

I mean, it doesn't belong in Italian or Polish dishes.
They have their own signature herbs.

Let it be known across kitchens and cookfires, taco trucks and temple bowls, that cilantro is no mere herb. It is the verdant anointing, the leaf of the gods, the crowned emissary of freshness.
Where there is blandness, it brings boldness.
Where there is heaviness, it cuts with grace.
Where there is soup, salsa, curry, or pho—it stands ready, holy and whole.
You say it tastes like soap? Nay, sinner—that is the flavor of your own genetic chains, not cilantro's crime. Blame not the leaf for the bitterness you bear.

"Polish-Soviet Brotherhood in Arms" in Ploty is no more.
Poland is tearing down monuments glorifying communism across the country after the introduction of a new law that bans communist propaganda.

He was a foreign policy hard liner willing to use military action or threat of military action at the drop of a hat. He didn't like people disagreeing with him. He was right though that our adversaries aren't going to change short of military action. But he never weighed the consequences against the status quo.
